3.6.6. x = -20 p + 500, 0<=p<=25

What is the revenue function and what is the revenue if 20 units are sold?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

The revenue function is revenue = demand * price= x*p = (-20p + 500)*p =

-20p^2 + 500p if p=24 then -20(24^2) +500(24)=

r = 408

** revenue = demand * price = x * p = (-20 p + 500) * p = -20 p^2 + 500 p

If price = 24 then we get

R = -20 * 24^2 + 500 * 24 = 480. **

I got that one right.

3.6.10. P = (x, y) on y = x^2 - 8.

Give your expression for the distance d from P to (0, -1)

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Distance = sqrt( 0 - x)^2) + ( -1 - ( x^2 - 8) )^2 =

sqrt( x^2 + ( -7 -x^2)^2 =

sqrt( x^2 + 49 -14x^2 + x^4) =

sqrt( x^4 -13x^2 + 49)

** P = (x, y) is of the form (x, x^2 - 8).

So the distance from P to (0, -1) is

sqrt( (0 - x)^2 + (-1 - (x^2-8))^2) =

sqrt(x^2 + (-7-x^2)^2) =

sqrt( x^2 + 49 - 14 x^2 + x^4) =

sqrt( x^4 - 13 x^2 + 49). **

RESPONSE -->

I got the correct answer.

What are the values of d for x=0 and x = -1?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

If x= 0 then sqrt( 0^4 - 13(0) + 49) =

sqrt(49) = 7

If x = -1 the sqrt( (-1)^4 - 13(-1) + 49 )=

sqrt( 15 + 49) =

sqrt(64) = 8.

If x = 0 we have

sqrt( x^4 - 13 x^2 + 49) = sqrt(0^4 - 13 * 0 + 49) = sqrt(49) = 7.

If x = -1 we have

sqrt( x^4 - 13 x^2 + 49) = sqrt((-1)^4 - 13 * (-1) + 49) = sqrt( 64) = 8.

Note that these results are the distances from the x = 0 and x = 1 points of the graph of y = x^2 - 8 to the point (0, -1). You should have a sketch of the function and you should vertify that these distances make sense. **

3.6. 18 (was and remains 3.6.18). Circle inscribed in square.

What is the expression for area A as a function of the radius r of the circle?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

The circle's radius is r. The square has sides a length 2r and its area is (2r^2) = 4r^2

A circle inscribed in a square touches the square at the midpoint of each of the square's edges; the circle is inside the square and its center coincides with the center of the square. A diameter of the circle is equal in length to the side of the square.

If the circle has radius r then the square has sides of length 2 r and its area is (2r)^2 = 4 r^2.

The area of the circle is pi r^2.

So the area of the square which is not covered by the circle is 4 r^2 - pi r^2 = (4 - pi) r^2. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I got the area of the square and I know that the area of a circle is pir^2. I didn't know I was supposed to find the area of the square not covered by the circle. I understand how to find it by subtracting the area of the circle from the area of the square.

What is the expression for perimeter p as a function of the radius r of the circle?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

The perimeter of the square is four times the length of a side which is 4 * 2r = 8r

3.6.27 (was 3.6.30). one car 2 miles south of intersection at 30 mph, other 3 miles east at 40 mph

Give your expression for the distance d between the cars as a function of time.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

The function for the first car is 2 + 30t and the function for the other is 3+ 40t. So the distance between the cars is D= sqrt( (2 + 30 t )^2) + ( ( 3 + 40t)^2)

sqrt ( 4 + 120t + 900t+ 9 + 240t + 1600t^2 = sqrt( 2500t^2 + 360t + 13)

14:25:53

At time t the position of one car is 2 miles south, increasing at 30 mph, so its position function is 2 + 30 t.

The position function of the other is 3 + 40 t.

If these are the x and the y coordinates of the position then the distance between the cars is

distance = sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = sqrt( (2 + 30 t)^2 + (3 + 40t)^2 ) = sqrt( 4 + 120 t + 900 t^2 + 9 + 240 t + 1600 t^2) = sqrt( 2500 t^2 + 360 t + 13). **
