cost equation if c = cost and x = number of books then c = 4x + 1550

Vocaloid:

if you only sell 50 copies then x = 50 and a*50 >= 1550 where a = the price of the book

Vocaloid:

solve ^ that for a

smithm29:

a>=31?

Vocaloid:

good so the price must be $31

Vocaloid:

for part c your equation would be income = 31x

Vocaloid:

for part d, I'm going to assume that they want you to include the base printing costs so expense equation: c = 1750 + 4x income equation: i = 20x

Vocaloid:

that's it, let me know if you have any q's

smithm29:

thx

Vocaloid:

the estimate looks like x = 100 ish

Vocaloid:

part f wants an exact solution so solve: 1750 + 4x = 20x

smithm29:

do uk how to do task 2 a&b?

Vocaloid:

18a + 9c <= 2475 a + c <= 150

Vocaloid:

type these into desmos.com grapher

Vocaloid:

if we look at the graph we can find the maximum a value

Vocaloid:

should be like 112 ish

Vocaloid:

for part d replace 150 with 200 and re-do the graphs

Vocaloid:

for part e just divide total budget/price of adult ticket

Vocaloid:

I'm not sure about part f

smithm29:

I suppose the drone continues the pattern with 4 g-grandparents, 8 gg-grandparents, 16, and so on

Vocaloid:

this makes a geometric sequence with r = 2

Vocaloid:

recursive formula should be a_1 = 1 a_n = r * a_n-1 where r = 2 (leave the rest alone)
