A company operates two plants which manufacture the same item and whose total cost functions are C_1 = 9 + 0.02q1^2 and C_2 = 4.2 + 0.04q2^2,

where q_1 and q_2 are the quantities produced by each plant. The total quantity demanded, q = q1 + q2 , is related to the price, p , by

p = 50 - 0.04 q.

How much should each plant produce in order to maximize the company's profit?

q1=?

q2=?

b

step-by-step explanation:

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers together.

9 + 12 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 17 = 86

now, divide 86 by how many numbers we have: 6.

86 / 6 = 14.3

(1, –1), (16, –4), (36, –6)

step-by-step explanation:

given that the function is

this can also be written as

we have to graph this function and check which list of points lie on the graph

see attachment for graph:

we find that the points lying are (1,-1) (16,-4) and (36,-6)

since square root is there we find that x can only be posiitve but y can be since square root both positive and negative.
