The number of couches manufactured and sold in order to maximise the profit is 1560.
The demand function will be
p = 2700 - 0.75x
Here p = price per couch and x = number of couch
Total Fixed cost = $760000
Variable cost per couch = $360
Total cost = Fixed cost + variable cost
T(x) = 760000 + 360x
Revenue function will be
R(x) = Px
(2700 - 0.75x)x
2700x - 0.75x²
Since profit function = Pr(x)
Pr(x) = R(x) - T(x)
= 2700x - 0.75x² -760000 -360x
- 0.75x² + 2700x - 360x - 760000
For maximum profit
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}(Pr(x)) = 0[/tex]
[tex]\frac{d}{dx}[-0.75x^{2} + 2340x -760000 ] = 0[/tex]
-1.5x + 2340 = 0
x = 2340/1.5
x = 1560
The couches sold for maximum profit = 1560
Therefore, the number of couches manufactured and sold in order to maximise the profit is 1560.

A cubic meter of water weighs 1 000 kg. What is
the weight of 2 meters by 3 meters by 20
centimetre of water?
Answer:
1200
Step-by-step explanation:
First , we need to calculate the new volume using the dimensions given.
V=L×W×H
L=3meters
W=2meters
H=20Centimeters
H=(20/100)meters=0.2 meters
V=3×2×0.2=1.2m³
using simple proportions
if 1m³=1000kg
then. 1.2m³=Y
Y=(1.2m³×1000kg)/1m3
Y=1200kg
Determine whether the graphs of the given equations are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. y=x+9 y = -x + 2
Answer: Perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
Given are two equations as
We have to find whether these two are parallel or perpendicular or neither
For this first we have to find the slope of these two lines
I line slope = 1
II line slope =-1
Since slopes are not equal, the lines are not parallel.
Let us check product of these slopes. IF product =-1 the lines are perpendicular
We find that product =
Hence two lines are perpendicular

Answer:
Explanation:
a) increase 100 by 5%
[tex]\begin{gathered} 105\text{\% of 100 = 1.05}\times100 \\ =105 \end{gathered}[/tex]b) increase your result form (a)by 5%

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ \%P = }\frac{110.25-100}{100}\times100\text{\%} \\ \text{ \%P= 10.25\%} \end{gathered}[/tex]It is not 10% because the second 5% increase was not on the initial number 100.
increasing 105 by 5% is more than increasing 100 by 5%.
Therefore, increasing 100 by 5% followed by increasing the result by 5% is greater than increasing 100 by 10%.

2.1.9 An initial investment amount P, an annual interest rate r, and a time t are given. Find the future value of the monthly, (c) daily, and (d) continuously. Then find (e) the doubling time I for the given interest rate. P = $2500, r=3.95%, t = 8 yr a) The future value of the investment when interest is compounded annually is $ 3408.29 (Type an integer or a decimal. Round to the nearest cent as needed.) b) The future value of the investment when interest is compounded monthly is $ (Type an integer or a decimal. Round to the nearest cent as needed.)
When the interest is compounded monthly, we have to do two things:
- Calculate the number of periods: in this case we have 8*12=96 months.
[tex]8\text{years}\cdot12\text{ months/year}=96\text{ months}[/tex]- The monthly interest rate: we have to divide the annual nominal rate by 12 (the number of periods in the year).
[tex]\begin{gathered} r=3.95\text{ \%} \\ r_m=\frac{3.95}{12}=0.32917\text{ \%} \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, we can calculate the future value as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} FV=C(1+r_m)^m \\ FV=2,500\cdot(1+0.0032917)^{96}=2,500\cdot1.37091864=3,427.30 \end{gathered}[/tex]The future value when compounded monthly is $3,427.30.

For the first equation:
x^2 - 25 = 0...... x^2 = 25..... x = sqrt(25)..... x = 5 and x = -5.... so it has two solutions: 5 and -5
For the second euation:
(x - 2)^2 = 0.... the solution is x = 2 because when x = 2, (2 - 2)^2 = 0 ^ 2 = 0
So it only has one solution: 2
For the third equation:
(x - 3)^2 = 81.... x - 3 = sqrt(81) = -9 and +9
x - 3 = -9... x = -6
x - 3 = 9... x = 12
so it has two solutions: -6 and 12
The length and width of a rectangle are consecutive odd integers. The perimeter of the rectangle is 120 meters. Find the length and width of the rectangle.
The value of the length and the width of the rectangle are 29.5 and 30.5 meters respectively
How to determine the dimension of the rectangle?From the question, the statement is given as
Length and width are consecutive odd integers
Where perimeter = 120 meters
Represent the dimensions with x and y
Where Length = x and Width = y
And also, we have
y = x + 1
The perimeter of a rectangle is
Perimeter = 2 x (Length + Width)
Mathematically, this can be represented as
Perimeter = 2 x (x + y)
So, we have
2 x (x + y) = 120
Substitute y = x + 1 in 2 x (x + y) = 120
2 x (x + x + 1) = 120
This gives
2 x (2x + 1) = 120
Divide by 2
2x + 1 = 60
So, we have
2x = 59
Divide by 2
x = 29.5
Substitute x = 29.5 in y = x + 1
So, we have
y = 29.5 + 1
Evaluate
y = 30.5
Hence, the length and the width are 29.5 and 30.5

Answer:
0.339 m/min
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to know the rate of change of the third side in a triangle with sides 10 m and 14 m and an angle between them of 60°. The angle is increasing at 2°/min.
Law of CosinesThe law of cosines tells you the third side (c) satisfies the relation ...
c² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(C)
Filling in the given values, we have ...
c² = 10² +14² -2(10)(14)cos(C) = 296 -280cos(C)
Rate of changeTaking the square root and differentiating with respect to time, we have ...
c = √(296 -280cos(C))
c' = 280sin(C)·C'/(2√(296 -280cos(C)))
We want the value of this when C=60°, and C' = 2°/min = π/90 rad/min.
c' = 280(sin(60°))·(π/90)/(2√(296 -280cos(60°))) = (14π√3/9)/(2√156)
c' ≈ 0.339 . . . . m/min
The third side is increasing at a rate of about 0.339 meters per minute.

Two points for $6, 2000 sales/day and $8, 1000 sales/day which is given in the question.
The slope varies in y as x changes.
m = (2000-1000 )/(6-8) = -500
The equation of a line with slope m is:

Solve for b using one of the points (y-intercept)
2000 = -500(6)+b
5000 = b

A CD has a diameter of 12 cm and the diameter of the hole in the middle is 1.5 cm. So the area of the CD excluding the area of the hole will be 111.27 cm².
What is the area?The area is a mathematical concept that expresses the size of a region on a planar or curved surface. The area of an open surface or the boundary of a three-dimensional object is referred to as the surface area, while the area of a plane region or plane area is the area of a form or planar lamina.
According to the question, the given values are :
Diameter of CD = 12 cm.
Radius of CD, r₁= D/2 = 6 cm
Diameter of hole = 1.5 cm.
Radius of hole, r₂ = D/2 = 0.75 cm.

The reflection across the y axis the x value changes sign but the y value remain the same.
The answer is C
Select all the equations that represent a line perpendicular to the line 3x - 2y = 10
All the equations of the family:
y = (-2/3)*x + c
Where c is a real number, are perpendicular to the linear equation 3x - 2y = 10
How we can find the perpendicular equations?A general linear equation is of the form:
y = m*x + b
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Now, two linear equations are only perpendicular if the slope of one is equal to the inverse of the opposite of the other line's slope.
So, a line perpendicular to y = m*x + b is of the form:
y = (-1/m)*x + c
In this case, the given line is:
3x - 2y = 10
Writing this in slope-intercept form we get:
-2y = 10 - 3x
y = (10 - 3x)/-2
y = (3/2)*x - 5
So the slope of a perpendicular line will be: (-2/3)
Then any line of the form:
y = (-2/3)*x + c
Is perpendicular to the given line.

tony wants to write large numbers as the product of as many whole numbers greater than 1 as possible. he writes 144 as 2 x 72 but he sees he can go further and writes it as 2 x 2 x 36. can he go further still? explain your reasoning.
Tony can still go further go and write 144 as the product of whole numbers greater than one in the following way -
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
What are whole numbers?Whole numbers include all natural numbers and 0. They are real numbers that do not include fractions, decimals, and negative integers.
Given is tony, who wants to write large numbers as the product of as many whole numbers greater than 1 as possible. So, he writes 144 as
2 x 72 but he sees he can go further and writes it as 2 x 2 x 36.
Yes we can still go further and write 144 as the product of whole numbers greater than 1. We have -
144 = 2 x 72 = 2 x 2 x 36 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 18 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 9 =
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
Now, he cannot go on further to express 144 as the product of whole number greater than 1. The last digit 3 is a prime number and is divided by either 1 or itself. So, if the last digit in the product expansion is a prime number, than we cannot break it further into smaller whole numbers.
Therefore, tony can still go further go and write 144 as the product of whole numbers greater than one in the following way -
2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
