Question
A company is increasing production of peanuts at the rate of 50 cases per day. All cases produced can be sold. The daily demand function is given by
p = 50 - q/200 ,
where q is the number of units produced (and sold) and p is price in dollars. (Even though the quantity that consumers demand depends on the selling price, economists write the price as a function of the quantity.) Find the rate of change of revenue with respect to time (in days) when the daily production is 200 units.

- 1. When you swim underwater, the pressure in your ears depends on the depth at which you are swimming. The formula p=0.43d relates the water pressure p, in pounds per square feet, to a depth of d feet. We can use this linear function to determine the pressure in your ears at a different depths. (a) If your depth is doubled, how did the pressure change? (b) Fill in the blank: i. If the depth is increasing, the pressure is ii. If the depth is decreasing, the pressure isarrow_forwardSuppose that a student carrying a flu virus returns to campus and that four days later fifty students have been infected. Determine the number of infected students as a function time. Assume that the virus spreads at a rate that is proportional to both the number of students that have been infected and the number of students that have not been infected. Also assume that the campus population is 5000 students.arrow_forwardX₁ 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 (2 N 3₁ 45.3 50.2 51.4 50.2 52.9 54.1 55 57.25 powered by desmos X Y: # of gym memberships (in millions) 58- 56- 54- 52- 50- -48- 46- 44- 42- 4008 (2010, 50.2) 2009 (2009, 45.3) 2010 (2011, 51.4) (2012, 50.2) (2013, 52.9) 2011 x: Year 2012 2013 (2016, 57.25) (2015, 55) (2014, 54.1) 2014 2015 2016arrow_forward
