The cost function C(x)C(x)C(x) and the selling price of each article, p(x)p(x)p(x) are given below. Determine the profit function P(x)P(x)P(x).
C(x)=−0.03x2+70x+75C(x)=-0.03x^2+70x+75C(x)=−0.03x2+70x+75
p(x)=80−0.02xp(x) = 80 - 0.02xp(x)=80−0.02x
A tree is planted. The maximum possible height of the tree is 12.512.512.5 feet. The height of the tree is given by the following equation.
y=50040+2500e−0.75xy=\frac{500}{40+2500e^{-0.75x}}y=40+2500e−0.75x500, where xxx is in months and yyy is in feet.
Draw the graph of the function.
Find the value of f′(a)f^{\prime}\left(a\right) for the function f(x)=4x−1f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{4x-1} when a=2a=2.
