Astore owner estimates that by charging x dollars each for a certain lamp, he can sell 25 - x lamps each week. what price will yield maximum revenue?

The maximum revenue is at a price of $11.5 each for a certain lamp

The revenue is the total amount of money that can be made from selling a number of goods.

Revenue = price * total number of items

Since the price per item is x dollars and the total number of items is 25 - x, hence:

Revenue (R) = x * (25 - x) = 25x - x²

R = 25x - x²

The maximum revenue is at dR/dx = 0, hence:

dR/dx = 25 - 2x

25 - 2x = 0

2x = 25

x = $11.5

Hence, The maximum revenue is at a price of $11.5 each for a certain lamp.

or 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

So if 25 - x items are sold, and they each cost x, we can write an equation for the revenue to be

y = (25 - x)x

The vertex of this equation will represent the maximum revenue.  So we need to write this equation in vertex form so we can find the vertex.

Vertex from is

y = a(x - h)^2+ k,

where (h,k) represent the vertex.

the vertex form of this equation would be

And the vertex would be

This means the maximum revenue will occur when x = 25/2

step-by-step explanation: so we look at the formula un = a + (n-1)d

un is the amount of seats

n is the nth term aka row number

a is the original sequence/row number

d is the difference between each term

so in this a=22 d=6 and n can remain as n because we are simply formjng a rule

lets put these in the equation

un=22+(n-1)(6)

this is your answer to part a

however

lets double check that this is correct, we'll try putting it into the second term

un=a+(n-1)d

u2=22+(2-1)(6)

u2=22+6

u2=28

as the question said the second row has 28 seats so now we know the formula we made is correct.

as for part b

un=a+(n-1)

its asking us to find a row with 100 seats.

remember un was the amount of seata so all we do is substitute this in.

un=100 a=22 d=6

un=a+(n-1)d

100=22+(n-1)(6)

so now we simplify to find n which is the row number.

100-22=22+(n-1)(6)-22

78=(n-1)(6)

78/6=(n-1)(6)/6

13=n-1

13+1=n-1+1

14=n

so now we know that in the 14th row there is 100 seats.

hope this and that you understood! its my first time using the app or anyone out on here : p its also me to revise so a bunch! ask more questions if you dont understand ☺

the answer is d
