Let P(t) denote the profit made by a company when t dollars are invested in advertising. The marginal profit is dP/dt .
(a) Explain the meaning of dP dt in practical terms. The expression dP dt is the additional profit expected if 1 more dollar is invested in advertising. The expression dP dt is the total profit expected if t more dollars are invested in advertising. The expression dP dt is the difference between the expected profit and the actual profit. The expression dP dt is the additional profit expected if t more dollars are invested in advertising. The expression dP dt is the total profit expected if 1 more dollar is invested in advertising.
(b) If the marginal profit is positive, should you invest more or less money in advertising

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  (a)  (1) The expression dP/dt is the additional profit expected if 1 more dollar is invested in advertising

  (b) you should invest more when dP/dt > 0

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

dP/dt is the rate of change of profit with respect to advertising dollars. That is, it tells the number of dollars the profit will increase if the advertising dollars increase by 1.

__

b)

Assuming that the advertising budget is already accounted for in the profit function, it is useful to spend more on advertising if that makes the profit go up. For dP/dt > 0, you should invest more in advertising.

When dP/dt = 0, no more advertising should be purchased. When dP/dt < 0, the advertising budget should be reduced to increase profit.

A college employs 15 stewards. What is the average monthly wage of the stewards if the college pays 226.20 in wages each month?​

Answers

Answer:

$15.08

Step-by-step explanation:

As the value 226.20 is the total of all wages, you can work out the mean.

Mean averages are usually worked out as the total / number of values.

Because you already know the total is 226.20 and the number of values is 15 different wages, divide 226.20 by 15 to get $15.08.

3.) Write the equation of a quadratic function that is shifted down 4 and horizontally compressed by 1/5

Answers

Answer:

[tex]5x^2 - 4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

For shifted down a function you have to follow the next structured:

[tex]f(x) - c[/tex]

In our case is:

[tex]x^2 - 4[/tex]

Now for compressed or shrink a graph you have to multiply by a factor in the input something like this:

[tex]f(cx)[/tex]

In our case is:

[tex]5x^2[/tex]

Maybe you can think, why 5 and not [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] instead?. Well, when you multiply by [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] this dilate or stretch the graft because the output of each value is smaller, example:

[tex]f(x) = x^2\\g(x) = \frac{1}{5} x^2[/tex]

Then evaluate for a number, for example 5:

[tex]f(5) = 25\\g(5) = 5[/tex]

the output of [tex]g(x)[/tex] is 5 steps a far from the answer of [tex]f(x)[/tex] this in a graph is illustrate as a stretching.

So the opposite happen when you multiply by a integer number, the graph is compressed because the output take the "faster steps".

So combine the two transformation and get [tex]5x^2 - 4[/tex]

Which of the following is equivalent to the expression 2/5 divided by 4 ?


A


5/2×4



B
2/5



C
2/5×1/4



D
2/5÷1/4

Answers

Answer:

C) 2/5×1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing by a number is the same by multiplying by the reciprocal of the number.

For Example:

1/2 divided by 3 would be the same as 1/2 x 1/3

So for this problem we are given that 2/5 is divided by 4 which would be the same as 2/5 multiplied by the reciprocal of 4 which is 1/4 and thus the answer is option C which is 2/5×1/4

Answer:

$5000$20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

The annual depreciation is the predicted change in value each year. The change in value for 6 years is predicted to be ...

  $140,000 -20,000 = $120,000 . . . . loss of value in 6 years

3 months is 1/4 of one year, so the loss of value in that time period is ...

  $120,000/6 × 1/4 = $5000

The depreciation expense for the last 3 months of the first year is $5000.

__

2.

The depreciation expense for the second year is ...

  $120,000/6 = $20,000
