Question

the cost, c (in millions of dollars) for a software company to seize 50% of an illegal version of a gaming software that they deloped in modeled by the following function c(x)=mx/50-0.5x the value of m is 25. Find the lim x inf-C(x). Explain briefly what this limit means in terms of the given scenario

Answer 2

I'll tag some users who may be able to help you :)
@pooja195 @Hayleymeyer @mathmate @Mr_Perfection_xD

Answer 3

Thank you very much

Answer 4

@casdawson @butterflydreamer @mathstudent55

Answer 5

Math it up, bruh!

Answer 6

I am not math smart. I so need help. I can sort of understand algebra but calculus is kicking my bum.

Answer 7

I love calc! Let me see what I can do, mate!

Answer 8

thank you so much

Answer 9

So what exactly do you need?

Answer 10

I'm trying to understand what this limit means in terms of the given scenario that I had asked about. The cost, C (in millions....
I found the answers to the percentage. but I just don't understand how the answer was reached

Answer 11

thats some very cool latex @horsegirl27 !

Answer 12

Thank you @ganeshie8!! @Whitemonsterbunny17 helped with it!!!

Answer 13

very pretty :D

@lynda.boyce
is it like this
\[\large c(x)=\dfrac{mx}{50-0.5x} \]

Answer 14

yes. and then I had to find the cost of seizing 50%. 60%, 70%, 80% and 90% of the illegal software. I found the answers to those. they are200, 300, 466.67, 800, 1800, with M being 100

Answer 15

could you please post the complete question
if psble take a screenshot and attach

Answer 16

So you're fixing \(M=100\) for part \(b\) is it

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

but b says to pick a number between 20 and 120

Answer 19

Oops sorry you're correct.

Answer 20

you're working part \(c\) now ?

Answer 21

trying to understand it and work it, yes

Answer 22

Look at the graph of C(x) once

Answer 23

Do you know what \(\large \lim\limits_{x\to100^{\color{red}{-}}}C(x)\) means ?

Answer 24

not really. I am very math stupid. it took me forever to understand algebra to pass it

Answer 25

Suppose you're walking on that red line from left hand side of x=100 :

Answer 26

ok

Answer 27

As x approaches 100 from left hand side, the graph is shooting up insanely
so you will be climbing up higher and higher, yes ?
