Exercises 23-26

Maximizing profit. Raggs, Ltd., a clothing firm, determines that in order to sell x suits, the price per suit must be

P = 150 0.5 x .

It also determines that the total cost of producing x suits is given by

C ( x ) = 4000 + 0.25 x 2 .

a. Find the total revenue, R ( x )

b. Find the total profit, P ( x )

c. How many suits must the company produce and sell in order to maximize profit?

The graph of f(x) is given below. Select each true statement about the continuity of f(x) at x = 1. Select all that apply: ☐ f(x) is not continuous at x = 1 because it is not defined at x = 1. ☐ f(x) is not continuous at x = 1 because lim f(x) does not exist. x+1 ☐ f(x) is not continuous at x = 1 because lim f(x) ‡ f(1). x+→1 ☐ f(x) is continuous at x = 1.

A homeware company has been approached to manufacture a cake tin in the shape of a "ghost" from the Pac-Man video game to celebrate the 45th Anniversary of the games launch. The base of the cake tin has a characteristic dimension / and is illustrated in Figure 1 below, you should assume the top and bottom of the shape can be represented by semi-circles. The vertical sides of the cake tin have a height of h. As the company's resident mathematician, you need to find the values of r and h that minimise the internal surface area of the cake tin given that the volume of the tin is Vfixed- 2r Figure 1 - Plan view of the "ghost" cake tin base. (a) Show that the Volume (V) of the cake tin as a function of r and his 2(+1)²h V = 2
