hartnn (hartnn):

total selling price is just x times p you can understand why ?

hartnn (hartnn):

then just Profit = selling price - cost price...

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

I don't understand why x*p is total selling price?

hartnn (hartnn):

cost of selling 1 suit = p cost of selling 'x' suit = xp selling price = revenue function R(x)

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

so just -0.5x^2+180x?

hartnn (hartnn):

yep

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

so then it's (0.5x^2+180x)-(4000-0.25x^2) for P(x)

hartnn (hartnn):

-0.5x^2 (-0.5x^2+180x)-(4000+0.25x^2) for P(x)

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

So then x suits would be setting the deriv of P(x) to zero

hartnn (hartnn):

whatever you get for 'x' after setting P'(x) = 0 will go in \(\square \: suits\)

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, you said correct

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

So I got 20.4, so it's 20 suits?

hartnn (hartnn):

i am getting x= 120 exactly

hartnn (hartnn):

you did this, right ? (-0.5x^2+180x)-(4000+0.25x^2) = P(x) ?

hartnn (hartnn):

check for signs

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

Okay now I got 120 ;P Idk what I did wrong. So maximum profit =180-0.5*120

hartnn (hartnn):

no

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

no wait that's price.

hartnn (hartnn):

yes

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

0.75x^2+180x-4000 input 120 for x

hartnn (hartnn):

to get max profit put x=120 in (-0.5x^2+180x)-(4000+0.25x^2) = P(x)

hartnn (hartnn):

check for signs

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

got 6800 (sorry)

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

Then for PPU it'd be 56.67?

hartnn (hartnn):

6800 correct PPU = p only right ?

hartnn (hartnn):

p = 180 -x/2 , isn't it ? = 180-60 =120

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

OOh right sorry I wasn't calculating in cost, only revenue

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

So that's it?:O

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, you answered all questions there...

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

Looked a lot harder.

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

http://gyazo.com/1fc37f0420b2fa1f8af24020afa754c9 Last question:-)

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

So A. 0.006x^3+0.07x^2+18x+700 when x=25 B. (0.006(26)^3+0.07(26)^2+18(26)+700)-(0.006(25)^3+0.07(25)^2+18(25)+700)/26-25

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

C. C'(x) when x=25 D. C'(x) when x=27 - C'(x) when x=25 E. 0.006x^3+0.07x^2+18x+700 when x=27?

hartnn (hartnn):

yeah, i think those are correct.. not sure about B though ....

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

Essentially it's just (0.006(26)^3+0.07(26)^2+18(26)+700)-(0.006(25)^3+0.07(25)^2+18(25)+700)

hartnn (hartnn):

okk, if your are confident :)

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

The 26-25 idk, that's how I learned it. It'll always equal 1

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

Okay @hartnn if you were told "Round to the nearest cent" what would you put if your answer was 1353.1356

hartnn (hartnn):

nearest cent means 2 decimal places 1353.14

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

Okay... I got it marked wrong and I put that, it said it was 1353.00 lol :(

hartnn (hartnn):

lol, thats not rounded to nearest cent!

hartnn (hartnn):

1353.14 must be correct, stupid software :P

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

Well im sure my teacher wants me to fail ;P
