The price of a bus ticket to Saskatoon is $180. This bus has 56 seats. The bus company is considering dropping this bus fare as part of a promotion to increase the ridership on that route.

The buses has only been at half capacity lately. The companies research shows that for every 5$ decreases they will gain 2 more riders.


1. Define variable and set up an equation to represent his scenario


2. What is the maximum revenue the bus company can earn and what will be the cost of a ticket when the revenue is at a maximum

Answers

Answer 1

The bus tickets and price are illustrations of a quadratic function, and the maximum revenue the bus company can earn is $5107.6

The variables of the scenario

The variable representation used in this scenario are:

Let x represents the number of seatsLet y represents the total amount

The maximum revenue

The price is given as:

Price = $156

The number of seats is given as:

Seats = 56

When the bus is at half capacity, we have:

Seats = 28

As the price decreases by $5, the rider gains 2 more.

So, the revenue equation is:

y = (156 - 5x)(28 + 2x)

Expand

y = 4368 - 140x + 312x - 10x²

Differentiate

y' = 0 - 140 + 312 - 20x

Evaluate the sum

y' = 172 - 20x

Equate to 0

172 - 20x =0

Add 20x to both sides

20x = 172

Divide both sides by 20

x = 8.6

Substitute x = 8.6 in y = (156 - 5x)(28 + 2x)

y = (156 - 5 * 8.6)(28 + 2 * 8.6)

Evaluate

y = 5107.6

Hence, the maximum revenue the bus company can earn is $5107.6

What is a loan amortization schedule?

It is defined as the systematic way of representation of loan payments according to the time in which the principal amount and interest mentioned in a list manner.

We have a table given that showing a  first segment of a five-year amortization schedule that has a 5-year amortization schedule and the amount of interest paid for months 1 through 12.

As the loan amount is not mentioned in the question, we are assuming the loan amount is $1184.6

Therefore, loan amount = $1184.6

The outstanding amount at the end of one year, which is 12 months, is shown in the table as $84.18

After one year of payments, the amount need to be paid to interest:

= Loan amount - Outstanding amount after 12 months

= 1184.6 - 84.18

= $1100.425

Thus, after one year of payments, the amount need to be paid to interest is $1100.42 if the first segment of a five-year amortization schedule is a 5-year amortization schedule option (a) is correct.

Answer:

[tex]3\frac{1}{3}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We could use the combined rate equation to find the combined rate of work.

Combined rate of work formula: [tex]\frac{1}{t_{b}} = \frac{1}{t_{1} } + \frac{1}{t_{2} }[/tex], where [tex]t_{1}[/tex] is the individual time for object A, [tex]t_{2}[/tex] the individual time for object B and [tex]t_{b}[/tex] is the time for A and B together.

The time it takes Irina to paint the room alone, [tex]t_{1}[/tex] = 5 hours

The time it takes Paulo to paint the room, [tex]t_{2}[/tex] = 10 hours

1) Substitute object A (Irina) and B (Paulo) into the formula given above, and change [tex]t_{b}[/tex] into an [tex]x[/tex].

[tex]\frac{1}{{x}} = \frac{1}{5 } + \frac{1}{10 }[/tex]

2) Add the fractions.

[tex]\frac{1}{x} = \frac{3}{10}[/tex]

3) Solve for the [tex]x[/tex].

[tex]x(3) = 1(10)\\3x = 10\\x = \frac{10}{3} \\[/tex]

4) Change them into a mixed fraction.

[tex]3\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Note: [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex] or [tex]3\frac{1}{3}[/tex] are both correct. Write the answer according to the question. In this case, there is no specific rule, so I choose [tex]3\frac{1}{3}[/tex].

F(5)=12 for a geometric sequence that is defined recursively by the formula f(n)=0. 3*f(n-1), where n is an integer and n>0. Find f(7) Round your answer to the nearest hundredth

Answers

Answer:

  f(7) = 1.08

Step-by-step explanation:

The recursive formula can be used with the given value to find the desired value.

Given:

  f(n) = 0.3×f(n-1) . . . . . where f(5) = 12

The next term in the sequence is ...

  f(6) = 0.3×f(5) = 0.3(12) = 3.6

  f(7) = 0.3×f(6) = 0.3(3.6) = 1.08

Part A- Write an inequality to show the age of children who are allowed to operate a boat.
Part B- Describe in words how you can show the solution to this inequality of a number line.

Answers

Answer:

Part A:

Part B:

How to show this inequality on a number line is a closed circle on 13, going left of 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

x represents the age of children who are allowed to operate the boat.

Our inequality is < because if you are of the age of 13 you are allowed to operate the boat,

the inequality x > 13 reads x (the age of children) is greater than or equal to 13

Part B:

How to describe inequalities on a number line;

Closed circle: less than or equal to - or - greater than or equal to ( < , > )

To the left of the number on the number line: less than

Answer:

Part A

Let x = age of child (in years)

"Children under the age of 13 are not allowed to operate a boat"

Therefore, children should be 13 or older:

x ≥ 13

A: 4x^2+32x-80=0
B: 4x^2+32x+60=0
C: 2x^2+32x-80=0
D: x^2+16x+60=0​

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as

A = length × width

  = (2x + 10)(2x + 6) ← expand using FOIL and equate to 140

 = 4x² + 12x + 20x + 60 = 140

= 4x² + 32x + 60 = 140 ( subtract 140 from both sides )

4x² + 32x - 80 = 0  

Answer:

A: 4x² + 32x - 80 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = 2x + 10 inWidth = 2x + 6 inArea = 140 in²

Formula

Area (rectangle) = Length x Width

Solving :

140 = (2x + 10)(2x + 6)2x(2x) + 10(2x) + 2x(6) + 10(6) = 1404x² + 20x + 12x + 60 = 1404x² + 32x - 80 = 0The correct option is A

Your heart rate is the number of times each minute that your heart beats, which is normally between 60 and 100 times per minute for adults. Your pulse is a way you can feel each time your heart beats. Measuring your heart rate helps you monitor your own health and know if you’re exercising at the right level to get the most benefits to your health.

Your pulse is your heart rate, or the number of times your heart beats in one minute. Pulse rates vary from person to person. Your pulse is lower when you are at rest and increases when you exercise (more oxygen-rich blood is needed by the body when you exercise). Knowing how to take your pulse can help you evaluate your exercise program.
