- Applications Waste management The corrosive waste is industrial sewage limits the useful life of the piping in a waste processing plant to 12 years. The piping system was originally worth 137,000, and it will cost the company 33, 000 to remove it at the end of its 12-year useful life. Find a depreciation equation.arrow_forwardCost, Revenue, and Profit A roofing contractor purchases a shingle delivery truck with a shingle elevator for 42,000. The vehicle requires an average expenditure of 9.50 per hour for fuel and maintenance, and the operator is paid 11.50 per hour. (a) Write a linear equation giving the total cost C of operating this equipment for t hours. (Include the purchase cost of the equipment.) (b) Assuming that customers are charged 45 per hour of machine use, write an equation for the revenue R obtained from t hours of use. (c) Use the formula for profit P=RC to write an equation for the profit obtained from t hours of use. (d) Use the result of part (c) to find the break-even point-that is, the number of hours this equipment must be used to yield a profit of 0 dollars.arrow_forwardIn the pair of supply and demand equations below, x represents the quantity demanded in units of a thousand and p the unit price in dollars, find the equilibrium quantity and the equilibrium price. p = 47 − 3x2 and p = x2 + 8x + 35arrow_forward
- (Cost, Revenue, and Profit). A company that manufactures pet toys calculates that its costs and revenue can be modeled by the equations C = 75,000+1.05x and R=500x−x2/25 where x is the number of toys produced in 1 week. If production in one particular week is 5000 toys and is increasing at a rate of 250 toys per week, find: a) The rate at which the cost is changing. b)the rate at which the revenue is changing. c)the rate at which the profit is changing.arrow_forward(1) A skier is trying to decide whether or not to buy a season ski pass. A daily pass costs $67. A season ski pass costs $350. The skier would have to rent skis with either pass for $25 per day. Using linear equations, explain the process to find how many ski days it would take the skier to make the season pass less expensive than daily passes.arrow_forwardAt a price of $25 per bookshelf, producers will provide 115 bookshelves to the market. At a price of $55 per bookshelf, producers will provide 405 bookshelves. The consumers demand x bookshelves at a price, in dollars of p(x)= -0.5x + 65. a. What is the market equilibrium quantity of bookshelves? b. What is the market equilibrium price?arrow_forward
- In the Fahrenheit temperature scale, water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F. In the Celsius scale, water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. Given that the Fahrenheit temperature F and the Celsius temperature C are related by a linear equation, find F in terms of C. F(C) = Use your equation to find the Fahrenheit temperatures corresponding to 29°C, 23°C, −9°C, and −16°C, to the nearest degree. °F(29)= °F(23)= °F(−9)= °F(−16)=arrow_forward1) You are to create a real life example of a linear equation.2) You must write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the linear equation.3) You must write the point-slope form of the equation of the linear equation.4) You must write the standard form of the equation of the linear equation.5) You must state the meaning of the x and y variable according to your linear equation.6) You must state the slope and the meaning of the slope for your linear equation.7) You must state the y-intercept and the meaning of the y-intercept for your linear equation.8) You must write the x-intercept and the meaning of the x-intercept for your linear equation.9) You must create a table of values for your linear equation with at least 5 values.10) You must graph your linear equation and label the x and y axis according to your equation.11) You must ask a question about your linear equation and answer it.arrow_forwardMaximizing Profits The quantity demanded each month of the Walter Serkin recording of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, produced by Phonola Media, is related to the price per compact disc. The equation p = −0.0004x + 9 (0 ≤ x ≤ 12,000) where p denotes the unit price in dollars and x is the number of discs demanded, relates the demand to the price. The total monthly cost (in dollars) for pressing and packaging x copies of this classical recording is given by C(x) = 600 + 2x − 0.00002x2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 20,000). To maximize its profits, how many copies should Phonola produce each month? Hint: The revenue is R(x) = px, and the profit is P(x) = R(x) − C(x).(Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) ______________ discs/montharrow_forward
- A boat has a diesel fuel tank capacity of 100 L. A particular gas station near the Bridge charges a service charge of $6.00 plus $1.80 per liter of diesel. In this case, we can model the cost of diesel by C(n) = 1.80n + 6.00, where C is the cost of the diesel in dollars and n is the number of liters. If the sailboat uses the gas station to fill up, what would be the domain for the equation, the range of costs, and the independent and dependent variables?arrow_forwardA person bought clothes worth of $71 in a store.
