Maximizing Revenue: The price p (in dollars) and the quantity x sold of a certain product obey the demand equation
(a) Express the revenue R as a function of x.
(b) What is the revenue if 15 units are sold?
(c) What quantity x maximizes revenue? What is the maximum revenue?
(d) What price should the company charge to maximize revenue?
(e) What price should the company charge to earn at least $480 in revenue?
Under what circumstances is a linear function odd? Can a linear function ever be even?
Artillery A projectile fired from the point (0, 0) at an angle
to the positive x-axis has a trajectory given by
where
x = horizontal distance in meters
y = height in meters
v = initial muzzle velocity in meters per second (m/sec)
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 meters per second squared
is a constant determined by the angle of elevation.
A howitzer fires an artillery round with a muzzle velocity of 897 m/sec.
(a) If the round must clear a hill 200 meters high at a distance of 2000 meters in front of the howitzer, what cvalues are permitted in the trajectory equation?
(b) If the goal in part (a) is to hit a target on the ground 75 kilometers away, is it possible to do so? If so, for what values of c? If not, what is the maximum distance the round will travel?
A rectangle has one vertex on the line , another at the origin, one on the positive x-axis, and one on the positive y-axis. Express the area A of the rectangle as a function of x. Find the largest area A that can be enclosed by the rectangle.
Graph the function by starting with the graph of and using transformations (shifting, compressing, stretching, and/or reflection). Verify your results using a graphing utility.
Hint: If necessary, write in the form .
