Question 55056: Hi, the question I have is
a manufacturer of tv dinners has monthly revenue of R= -q^2+25q
R is revenue in hundreds of dollars when q dinners are produced.
Cost function is C=4q+40 where C is also in hundreds of dollars.
Manufacturer is limited to producing 2500 dinners per month.
Solve the equations and use a graph to show how manufacturer can operate a profit.
To solve the equations would I have 2500= (-q^2+25q) - (4q+40) since profit is cost-revenue.
So then I have 2500= -q^2 + 25q -4q -40
2500 = -q^2 + 21q -40
2500+40 = -q^2 +21q
2540 = -q^2 +21q
equation to make profit would be -q^2 + 21q - 2540
Then do i find points from this equation to graph it??
I really have no idea and am working with a guess.
Tahnks for any help you could possibly give me!!

Question 55054: Hi, I have the following question and I don't know what to do.
It is the demand for goods is p^2 + q^2 = 169 where p is price and q is quantity. The supply equation is p = q + 7.
What are the equilibrium price and quantity?
I'm unsure but i'm assuming that equilibrium is where supply equals demand
but the demand equation has roots, so would it be p+q= square root of 169
then that equals p-q-7.
But i still from that cannot get a price for p and a price for q.
I'm extremely stuck and any help would be greatly appreciated.
