Concept explainers
13. a. A student earns $15 perhour for tutoring and $10 per houras a teacher’s aide. Let
b. The student is bound by the following constraints:
• To have enough time for studies, the student can workno more than 20 hours per week.
• The tutoring center requires that each tutor spend atleast three hours per week tutoring.
• I he tutoring center requires that each tutor spend nomore than eight hours per week tutoring.
Write a system of three inequalities that describes theseconstraints,
c. Graph the system of inequalities in part (b). Use only the first quadrant and its boundary, because, x and y are nonnegative.
d. Evaluate the objective function for total weekly earningsat each of the four vertices of the graphed region, [Thevertices should occur at (3,0), (8,0), (3,17). and(8,12).]
e. Complete the missing portions of this statement: Thestudent can earn the maximum amount per week by
tutoring for8hours per week and working
as a teacher’s aide for 12 hours per week. The
maximum amount that the student can earn each week$240

- The manufacturer of a water bottle spends $5 to build each bottle and sells them for $10. The manufacturer also has fixed costs each month of $6500. (a) Find the cost function C when x bottles are manufactured. (b) Find the revenue function R when x bottles are sold. (c) Show the break-even point by graphing both the Revenue and Cost functions on the same grid. (d) Find the break-even point. Interpret what the break-even point means.arrow_forwardIf you are performing a break-even analysis for a business and their cost and revenue equations are dependent, explain what this means for the company's profit margins.arrow_forwardAt the Pizza Dude restaurant, a 12-in. pizza costs 5.40 to make, and the manager wants to make at least 4.80 from the sale of each pizza.
