Find the revenue function and use it to determine what price the company should charge to obtain the maximum revenue? Round to two decimal places as needed.
A verbal description of a function is given. Use a formula to express the function.Your new 60-inch plasma TV cost $2500, and you bought a new DVD player for $630. The accompanying surround-sound system cost $850. You paid $344 for a nice stand to accommodate the entire business. Since getting the nice home video system, you subscribed to a cable TV package, which includes many high-definition channels and costs $111 per month. Write a formula that gives the cost C, in dollars, of purchasing your home video system and paying for m months of cable service.
Psychologists sometimes use the function
to measure the amount L learned at time t.The number A represents the amount to be learned, and the number k measures the rate of learning.Suppose that a student has an amount A of 200 vocabulary words to learn.A psychologist determines that the student learned 20 vocabulary words after 5 minutes. (a) Determine the rate of learning k. (b) Approximately how many words will the student have learned after 10 minutes? (c) After 15 minutes? (d) How long does it take for the student to learn 180 words?
