a.
To find: The function
The function that models the cost of producing
Given information:
The cost of making each unstrung racket is $23 and total of $125000 in fixed overhead costs.
Calculation:
Multiply the number of rackets with the price of each unstrung racket and add fixed overhead costs to get the function that models the cost of producing unstrung rackets as follows:
Conclusion:
The function that models the cost of producing
b.

c.
To find: The function
The function modelling the revenue generated by selling
Given information:
The cost of making each unstrung racket is $23 and total of $125000 in fixed overhead costs.
The price of an unstrung racket is $56 and the price of a strung racket is $79.
Calculation:
The selling price of one unstrung racket is $56. So, the selling price of
Therefore, the function modelling the revenue generated by selling
Conclusion:
The revenue function is
d.
To find: The function
The function modelling the revenue generated by selling
Given information:
The cost of making each unstrung racket is $23 and total of $125000 in fixed overhead costs.
The price of an unstrung racket is $56 and the price of a strung racket is $79.
Calculation:
The selling price of one unstrung racket is $79. So, the selling price of
Therefore, the function modelling the revenue generated by selling
Conclusion:
The revenue function is
e.
To graph: The functions
Given information:
The cost of making each unstrung racket is $23 and total of $125000 in fixed overhead costs.
The price of an unstrung racket is $56 and the price of a strung racket is $79.
Graph:
Use a graphing tool to draw the graph of the functions as shown below.
Interpretation:
Selling strung rackets generates more revenue than selling unstrung rackets.
f.
To write: whether the company should manufacture unstrung or strung rackets.
The company should manufacture strung rackets.
Given information:
The cost of making each unstrung racket is $23 and total of $125000 in fixed overhead costs.
The price of an unstrung racket is $56 and the price of a strung racket is $79.
Calculation:
Consider the graph drawn in part (e).
From the graph it can be observed that the revenue generated by selling strung rackets is more than revenue generated by unstrung rackets. Thus, it is recommended to manufacture strung rackets.
Conclusion:
Selling strung rackets generates more revenue than selling unstrung rackets.

- Consider the region below f(x) = (11-x), above the x-axis, and between x = 0 and x = 11. Let x; be the midpoint of the ith subinterval. Complete parts a. and b. below. a. Approximate the area of the region using eleven rectangles. Use the midpoints of each subinterval for the heights of the rectangles. The area is approximately square units. (Type an integer or decimal.)arrow_forwardRama/Shutterstock.com Romaset/Shutterstock.com The power station has three different hydroelectric turbines, each with a known (and unique) power function that gives the amount of electric power generated as a function of the water flow arriving at the turbine. The incoming water can be apportioned in different volumes to each turbine, so the goal of this project is to determine how to distribute water among the turbines to give the maximum total energy production for any rate of flow. Using experimental evidence and Bernoulli's equation, the following quadratic models were determined for the power output of each turbine, along with the allowable flows of operation: 6 KW₁ = (-18.89 +0.1277Q1-4.08.10 Q) (170 - 1.6 · 10¯*Q) KW2 = (-24.51 +0.1358Q2-4.69-10 Q¹²) (170 — 1.6 · 10¯*Q) KW3 = (-27.02 +0.1380Q3 -3.84-10-5Q) (170 - 1.6-10-ºQ) where 250 Q1 <1110, 250 Q2 <1110, 250 <3 < 1225 Qi = flow through turbine i in cubic feet per second KW = power generated by turbine i in kilowattsarrow_forwardHello!
