Question 215077:
The total weekly revenue earned at Royal Ruby Retailers is given by following function where p is the price RRR charges per ruby. Use this function to determine: First, the weekly revenue to the nearest dollar, when the price is set at $20/ruby; Second, find the weekly revenue, to the nearest dollar, when the price is set at $200/ruby; Third, find the price RRR should charge in order to obtain a weekly revenue of $1200. (if you get negative answers do not assume that it is wrong!)
R(p) = - 4/3 p^2 + 80p
The weekly revenue when the price is set at $20/ruby is $.
The weekly revenue when the price is set at $200/ruby is $.
RRR should charge $ per ruby to obtain a weekly revenue.

Question 215294: Is it possible for x = 3 to be in the domains of the functions.
q(x)=2x square root of 2 divided by x-3 and
T(x)= square root this is inside the sign 2-x.
I did q(3)=2(3) with square root of 2 divided by 3-3 and For T(3)= square root that is inside the sign is 2-3.
Why or why not? I think q(3)=2(3)is yes because after working it out on my calculater I came out with 3 and the second one no because it came out undefined.
What are the domains of q(x) and T(x) ? (3,3),(0,0)
Please explain what I did wrong if possible. Thank You

Question 215483: The equation of the line that goes through the point ( 3 ,7 ) and is perpendicular to the line 3 x + 2 y = 4 can be written in the form y = mx+b where m is: and where b is:
So, I got 3x + 2y = 4
2y = 4 - 3x
y = (4 - 3x)/2
so m=2/3
then i plugged everything and got
y - 7 = 2/3(x + 3)
y - 7 = 2/3x + 2
y = 2/3x + 2 + 7
y = 2/3x + 9
Somehow its wrong, can anyone help? Thank you!

Question 215599: Hello. I have a problem that I can graph and get the answer, but can not figure out the equation to get the answer. The question:
If a lone passes through (5,2) and has slope 2/3, then what is the value of y on this line when x=8, x=11, and x=12.
I know by graphing that it is (8,4),(11,6), and (12,6 3/4), but need to show work and also ensure that the estimated 6 3/4 is correct. That was just from eye balling the point on the graph were y intercepts x=12.
Thank you in advance.

Question 215743: May I have some help on this problem? It's sort of difficult for me to solve it: A telephone comapny charges $4.95 per month for long distance calls plus $0.05 per minute. The monthly cost c of long distance calls can be described by the equation c = 0.05m + 4.95, where m is the number of minutes. Using this information, find the y-intercept of the graph of the equation.
