- Flood Control A river is 8 feet above its flood stage. The water is receding at a rate of 3 inches per hour. Write a mathematical model that shows the number of feet above flood stage after t hours. Assuming the water continually recedes at this rate, when will the river be 1 foot above its flood stage?arrow_forwardMinimum Cost A manufacturer of lighting fixtures has daily production costs of C=80010x+0.25x2, where C is the total cost (in dollars) and x is the number of units produced. What daily production number yields a minimum cost?arrow_forwardMaximum Profit The profit P (in hundreds of dollars) that a company makes depends on the amount x (in hundreds of dollars) the company spends on advertising according to the model P=230+20x0.5x2. What expenditure for advertising yields a maximum profit?arrow_forward
- Maximizing land area Jake has 800 feet of fencing to enclose a rectangular plot of land that borders a river. If Jake doesnt need a fence along the side of the river, find the length and width of the plot that will maximize the area. What is the largest area that can be enclosed?arrow_forwardMaximum Profit The profit P (in dollars) generated by selling x units of a certain commodity ¡s given by P(x)=1500+12x0.0004x2 What is the maximum profit, and how many units must be sold to generate it?arrow_forwardAgriculture At a certain vineyard it is found that each grape vine produces about 10 lb of grapes in a season when about 700 vines are planted per acre. For each additional vine that is planted, the production of each vine decreases by about 1 percent. So, the number of pounds of grapes produced per acre is modeled by An=700+n10-0.01n where n is the number of additional vines planted. Find the number of vines that should be planted to maximize grape production.arrow_forward
- Demand A company has found that the daily demand x for its boxes of chocolates is inversely proportional to the price p. When the price is $5, the demand is 800 boxes. Approximate the demand when the price is increased to $6.arrow_forwardSelling concert tickets Tickets for a concert are cheaper when purchased in quantity. The first 100 tickets are priced at 10 each, but each additional block of 100 tickets purchased decreases the cost of each ticket by 50. How many blocks of tickets should be sold to maximize the revenue?arrow_forward
