Algebra.Com's Answer #32557 by venugopalramana(3286)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the inventor of a new product believes that the cost of producing the product is given by the function \n" ); document.write( "C(x)=1.75x +7000 \n" ); document.write( "If the inventor charges $4.00 per unit, then her profit for producing and selling x units is given by the function \n" ); document.write( "P(x)=2.25x-7000 \n" ); document.write( "a) what is her profit if she sells 2000 units......... \n" ); document.write( "THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME CONTRADICTIONS OR SUPERFLUOUS MATERIAL IN THE PROBLEM.IF PROFIT FUNCTION IS GIVEN DIRECTLY THERE IS NO NECESSITY FOR COST FUNCTION AND OTHER DATA. \n" ); document.write( "SO IF WE GO BY THE PROBLEM AS GIVEN THEN ANSWER IS AS FOLLOWS. \n" ); document.write( "P(x)=2.25x-7000 \n" ); document.write( "P(2000)=2.25*2000-7000=4500-7000=-2500 \n" ); document.write( "ANSWER IS LOSS OF 2500 AT X=2000 \n" ); document.write( "b)what is her profit if she sells 5000 units \n" ); document.write( "P(5000)=2.25*5000-7000=11250-7000=4250 PROFIT AT X=5000 \n" ); document.write( "what is the break even point for sales. \n" ); document.write( "P(X)=0 AT BREAK EVEN POINT \n" ); document.write( "2.25X=7000 \n" ); document.write( "X=7000/2.25=3111.1.....OR......3112\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Please help \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
