- How do you find the value of a function?arrow_forwardExplain how to find the input variable in a word problem that uses a linear function.arrow_forwardAn outpatient operating room charges each patient a fixed amount per surgery plus an amount per minute for use. One patient was charged 250 for a 30-minute surgery and another patient was charged 450 for a 90-minute surgery. Determine the linear function that would be used to compute the charges. Use the function to determine the charge when a patient has a 45-minute surgery.arrow_forward

The company's weekly profit on the sale of x kilograms of chili powder is modeled by the function P given by P(x) = 48x + 1.4*x2-0.05*x2.8-270, where P(x) is in dollars and 0 ≦x≦80. (a) Find the rate, in dollars per kilogram, at which the company's weekly profit is changing when it sells 32 kilograms of chili powder. Is the company's weekly profit increasing or decreasing when it sells 32 kilograms of chili powder? Give a reason for your answer. b) How many kilograms of chili powder must the company sell to maximize its weekly profit? Justify your answer. c) The company plans to have a one-day sale on chili powder. Management estimates that t hours after the company store opens, chili powder will sell at a rate modeled by the function S given by S(t) =2 +cos(π/10t2) kilograms per hour. Based on this model, estimate the amount of chili powder, in kilograms, that will be sold during the first 5 hours of the sale (d) Using the function S from…arrow_forward
- A company that sells radios has yearly fixed costs of $650,000. It costs the company $50 to produce each radio. Each radio will sell for $75. The company's costs and revenue are modeled by the following functions, where x represents the number of radios produced and sold. C(x)=650,000+50x, R(x)=75x Find and interpret (R−C)(13,000), (R−C)(26,000), and (R−C)(39,000). (R−C)(13,000)= What is the meaning of (R−C)(13,000)? A. If the company sells 325,000 radios in one year, its net profit is $13,000. B. If the company sells 325,000 radios in one year, its net loss is $13,000. C. If the company sells 13,000 radios in one year, its net loss is $325,000. D. If the company sells 13,000 radios in one year, its net profit is $325,000. (R−C)(26,000)= What is the meaning of (R−C)(26,000)? A. The company cannot sell more than 26,000 radios in one year. B. The most the company can make in one year is $26,000. C. If the company sells 26,000 radios in one year, it neither makes nor…arrow_forward(a) Find (m + r)(3). (b) Find (m − r)(3). (c) Find (m + r)(4).
