- Describe what it means if there is a model breakdown when using a linear model.arrow_forwardA farmer finds that if she plants 75 trees per acre,each tree will yield 20 bushels of fruit. She estimatesthat for each additional tree planted per acre, theyield of each tree will decrease by 3 bushels. Howmany trees should she plant per acre to maximizeher harvest?arrow_forwardWhen hired at a new job selling electronics, you aregiven two pay options: • Option A: Base salary of $20,000 a year with acommission of 12% ofyour sales • Option B: Base salary of $26,000 a year with acommission of 3% of your sales How much electronics would you need to sell foroption A to produce a larger income?arrow_forward
- Selling concert tickets Tickets for a concert are cheaper when purchased in quantity. The first 100 tickets are priced at 10 each, but each additional block of 100 tickets purchased decreases the cost of each ticket by 50. How many blocks of tickets should be sold to maximize the revenue?arrow_forwardA soccer stadium holds 62,000 spectators. With aticket price of$11, the average attendance has been26,000.

- For a monopolist's product, the demand equation is p=31−2q and the average-cost function is c=3+80q. Find the profit-maximizing price. Question content area bottom Part 1 The profit-maximizing price is $enter your response here.arrow_forwardYou have decided to make and sell friendship bracelets as a hobby. When bracelets are sold for $7 each, you sell 85 bracelets each month. For every $0.50 the price is increased you sell 2 fewer bracelets. It costs you $4 to make each bracelet. (a) Use calculus to determine what price bracelets should be sold at to maximize profit. (b) How much money will you make each month at this price?arrow_forwardRevenue The Better Baby Buggy Co. has just come out with a new model, the Turbo. The market research department predicts that the demand equation for Turbos is given by q = -3p + 312, where q is the number of buggies the company can sell in a month if the price is $p per buggy. At what price (in dollars) should it sell the buggies to get the largest revenue? $ 39 p = X What is the largest monthly revenue (in dollars)? $6084 Xarrow_forward
