- Suppose you have a job that pays $8.50 per hour and you work anywhere from 10 to 40 hours per week. a. Write an equation, with a restriction on the variable x, that gives the amount of money, y, you will earn for working x hours in one week. b. Use the function rule you have written in part (a) to complete Table 4. c. Construct a line graph from the information in Table 4. d. State the domain and range of this function.arrow_forwardA company determines that its weekly profit from manufacturing and selling x units of a certain item is given by Px=-x3+3x2+2880x-500. Use a graphing utility to find the weekly production rate that will maximize the profit.arrow_forwardSuppose the range of a function fis [5,8] . What is the range of |f(x)| ?arrow_forward
- For the graph in Figure 3, the domain of the function is [3,3] . The range is [10,10] . Find the absolute minimum of the function on this interval.arrow_forwardA business has a cost function of C=0.4x+8000, where C is measured in dollars and x is the number of units produced. The average cost per unit is given by C=Cx=0.4x+8000x,x0. a. Find the average costs per unit when x=1000,x=8000,x=20,000,andx=100,000. b. What is the horizontal asymptote of the graph of this function, and what does it represent?arrow_forwardThe total revenue (TR in $) for a textbook on mathematical economics is given by the equation TR = 1800Q − Q2 − 44375, where Q is the number of books sold. a.Draw the graph of the TR function using the example as in WolframAlpha. Can you guess the number of books to be sold to maximise the revenue? (Please take a snip of your graph and add it to your document) b. Find the number of books sold when the TR is $765,625? You can apply the quadratic formula or the method of completing squares.arrow_forward
- A company is planning to manufacture mountain bikes. The fixed monthly cost will be $100,000 and it will cost $100 to produce each bicycle. Solve; a. Write the cost function, C, of producing x mountain bikes. b. Write the average cost function, C*, of producing x mountain bikes. c. Find and interpret C*(500), C*(1000), C*(2000), and C*(4000). d. What is the horizontal asymptote for the graph of the average cost function, C*? Describe what this means in practical terms.arrow_forwardStudent Loans Data for selected years from 2011and projected to 2023 can be used to show that thebalance of federal direct student loans y, in billions ofdollars, is related to the number of years after 2010,x, by the function y = 130.7x + 699.7.a. Graph the function for x-values corresponding2010 to 2025.b. Find the value of y when x is 13.c. What does this function predict the balance offederal direct student loans will be in 2029?(Source: U.S. Office of Management and Budget)arrow_forwardThe business manager of a 90 unit apartment building is trying to determine the rent to be charged. From past experience with similar buildings, when rent is set at $400, all the units are full. For every $20 increase in rent, one additional unit remains vacant. What rent should be charged for maximum total revenue? 1. What is the maximum total revenue? 2. What is the formula for revenues R after x $20 price hikes in the apartment building? 3. Graph the function 4. Find the maximum revenue (or income) of the apartment building. 5. What is the rent that coincides with this maximum revenue? 6. What is the outcome of the rent hike of $20 results in 2 additional vacancies instead of 1 additional vacancy? Recalculate questions 3, 5, 6 for this new scenario.arrow_forward
