A motel owner observes that when a room is priced at $60 per day, all 80 rooms of the motel are occupied. For every $3 rise in the charge per room per day, one more room is vacant. Each occupied room costs an additional $15 per day to maintain.
a) Find the demand function, expressing p, the price charged for each room per day, as a function of x, the number of rooms occupied.
b) Find the profit function P(x).
c) Find the price of per room per day the motel should charge in order to maximize its profit.

Answer:

a) p(x) = 300 - 3

b) P(x) = -3 x² + 285 x

c) Price of per room per day  = $ 157.5

when Number of rooms occupied , x = 47.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - A motel owner observes that when a room is priced at $60 per day, all 80 rooms of the motel are occupied. For every $3 rise in the charge per room per day, one more room is vacant. Each occupied room costs an additional $15 per day to maintain.

To find - a) Find the demand function, expressing p, the price charged for each room per day, as a function of x, the number of rooms occupied.

             b) Find the profit function P(x).

             c) Find the price of per room per day the motel should charge in order to maximize its profit.

Proof -

a)

Let

(x, y) be the point

where x represents number of rooms occupied

and y represents price of room per day.

Now,

Given that,

a room is priced at $60 per day, all 80 rooms of the motel are occupied.

So, point becomes (80, 60)

And  given that For every $3 rise in the charge per room per day, one more room is vacant.

So, point becomes (79, 63)

Now, we have two points (80, 60), (79, 63)

Let us assume that,

p(x) be the price charged for each room per day

Now,

By using point - slope formula , we get

p -60 = [tex]\frac{(63 - 60}{(79 - 80)} (x - 80)[/tex]

⇒p -60 = (-3)(x-80)

⇒p-60 = 240 -3 x

⇒p(x) = 240 + 60 -3 x

⇒p(x) = 300 - 3 x

b)

Given that,

Each occupied room costs an additional $15 per day to maintain.

Let C(x) be the cost function,

Then C(x) =15 x

now,

Revenue function,

R(x) =x*p

      = x*(300 -3 x )

      = 300 x - 3 x²

⇒R(x) = 300 x - 3 x²

Now,

We know

Profit function = Revenue function - Cost function

⇒P(x) = R(x)-C(x)

⇒P(x) = (300 x -3 x²) -15 x

⇒P(x) = -3 x² + 285 x

c)

P'(x) = -6 x +285

For Maximize profit , Put P'(x) = 0

⇒-6 x+ 285 =0

⇒6 x= 285

⇒x = [tex]\frac{285}{6}[/tex]

⇒x= 47.5

∴ we get

Maximize profit is when price, p = 300 - 3x

                                                      = 300 -3(47.5)

                                                      = $157.5

⇒Price of per room per day  = $ 157.5

when Number of rooms occupied , x = 47.5

Among the senior class at a high school, 55% of Ms. Keating’s students plan on majoring in a branch of STEM, while 49% of Ms. Lewis’s students plan on majoring in a branch of STEM. Suppose Ms. Keating chooses 25 of her students at random and Ms. Lewis chooses 23 of her students at random. Since nKpK, nK (1 – pK) and nLpL, nL (1 – pL) are all greater than 10, the Normal condition is met. Let K = the proportion of Ms. Keating’s students from the sample who plan on majoring in a branch of STEM, and let L = the proportion of Ms. Lewis’s students from the sample who plan on majoring in a branch of STEM. What is the probability that the proportion of students who plan on majoring in a branch of STEM is greater for Ms. Keating?

Suppose someone takes out a home improvement loan for $30000. The annual interest on the loan is 6% and is compounded monthly. The monthly payment is $600. Let a denote the amount owed at the end of the nth month. The payments start in the first month and are due the last day of every month - this means in a given month interest is added first, and then the payment is applied to the resulting loan Balance.

a. Give a recursive definition for a,. including the recurrence relation and the base case.
b. Suppose that the borrower would like a lower monthly payment. How large does the monthly payment need to be to ensure that the amount owed decreases every month?
