Question

Derivative word problem

Answer 1

You have a point (270,32) and a slope 6/1.2 therefore you should be able to graph or derive an equation of the line.

Answer 2

Sorry slope should be 1.2/6

Answer 3

No this is supposed to be done without an graphing

Answer 4

Im supposed to come up with an equation just with the information given

Answer 5

Price = (1.2/6) Pail + b
set your points in equation and solve for b

Answer 6

p(x)= 86- 0.2x < answer at the back of the book

Answer 7

32 = (-1.2/6) 270 + b
b = 86
Price = - .2 Pail + 86
initial error the slope is -1.2/6 = - .2

Answer 8

This is actually a point slope problem not a derivative one (calculus)

Answer 9

There's more than one way of doing this

Answer 10

Possibly, pick the simplest

Answer 11

i want to slap a fish when i read ur question

Answer 12

ok well u already have a rate given

Answer 13

1.2 price decrease = 6 sales increase

Answer 14

and ur given at 32--->270 sales

Answer 15
