The average ticket price for a concert at the opera house was $50. the average attendance was 4000. when the ticket price was raised to $52, attendance declined to an average of 3800 persons per performance. what should the ticket price be to maximize the revenue for the opera house?

Answer

given,

opera house ticket = $50

attendance = 4000 persons

now,

opera house ticket = $52

attendance = 3800 person

assuming these are the points on the demand curve

(x, p) = (4000,50) and (x,p) = (3800,52)

using point slope formula

R(x) = x . p

at

x = 4500

hence at x =4500 the revenue is maximum

for maximum revenue ticket price will be

p = $45

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
