The marginal revenue at a quantity of 900 lbs is $50. The Skagway Coffee Company can sell 900 lbs of its premium blend coffee.

To determine the price at which the Skagway Coffee Company can sell 900 lbs of its premium blend coffee, we need to solve the demand equation for price when quantity is 900:

900 = 800 + 25√p

Simplifying this equation, we get:

100 = 25√p

Squaring both sides, we get:

10000 = 625p

Solving for p, we get:

p = 16

Therefore, the price at which the Skagway Coffee Company can sell 900 lbs of its premium blend coffee is $16.

To determine the revenue at this quantity, we can simply multiply the price by the quantity:

revenues = $16 x 900 = $14,400

To determine the marginal revenue at this quantity, we need to take the derivative of the demand equation with respect to quantity, and then evaluate it at the quantity of 900. The derivative of the demand equation is:

[tex]dq/dp[/tex] = 25/(2√p)

Substituting p = 16, we get:

[tex]dq/dp[/tex] = 25/(2√16) = 25/8

Multiplying this by the price of $16, we get:

marginal revenue = (25/8) x $16 = $50

Therefore, the marginal revenue at a quantity of 900 lbs is $50.

The function f(x+4) = 3^(x+4) - 4 is shifted 4 units to the left compared to g(x) = 3^x. f(x) - 4 = 3^x - 8 is shifted 4 units down compared to g(x) = 3^x. f(x) + 4 = 3^x is the same as g(x) = 3^x, but shifted 4 units up. f(x-4) = 3^(x-4) - 4 is shifted 4 units to the right compared to g(x) = 3^x.

To compare the functions f(x) = 3^x - 4 and g(x) = 3^x, we need to evaluate the difference between the two functions for different values of x. To shift the function f(x) four units to the left, we substitute x + 4 for x in the function. Therefore, f(x+4) = 3^(x+4) - 4.

To shift the function f(x) four units down, we subtract 4 from the function. Therefore, f(x) - 4 = 3^x - 8. To shift the function f(x) four units up, we add 4 to the function. Therefore, f(x) + 4 = 3^x. To shift the function f(x) four units to the right, we substitute x - 4 for x in the function. Therefore, f(x-4) = 3^(x-4) - 4.

In general, shifting a function left or right involves replacing x with x + a or x - a, respectively, where a is the amount of the shift. Shifting a function up or down involves adding or subtracting a constant from the function, respectively.

The interval of convergence for the power series is (2-1/2, 2+1/2), or (3/2, 5/2).

Hence, the interval of convergence of the given power series is (3/2, 5/2).

To find the interval of convergence of the given power series:

We will first apply the Ratio Test:

[tex]|(-8)^{n+1} (x-2)^{3(n+1)} (n+1)^2 + 1| |(-8)^n (x-2)^{3n} (n^2 + 1)|[/tex]

___________________ = lim ____________________________________

[tex]|(-8)^n (x-2)^{3n} (n^2 + 1)| |(-8)^{n+1} (x-2)^{3(n+1)} (n+1)^2 + 1|[/tex]

Simplifying this expression, we get:

[tex]lim |(-8)(x-2)^3(n+1)^2 + 1|/(n^2+1)[/tex]

As n approaches infinity, the [tex](n+1)^2[/tex]  term in the numerator becomes dominant, so the limit simplifies to:

[tex]lim |-8(x-2)^3(n+1)^2|/n^2[/tex]

[tex]= 8|(x-2)|^3 lim (n+1)^2/n^2[/tex]

Using the limit properties, we can simplify the above limit to:

[tex]8|(x-2)|^3 lim (1 + 1/n)^2[/tex]

As n approaches infinity, the term [tex](1/n)^2[/tex] becomes negligible and the limit simplifies to:

[tex]8|(x-2)|^3 lim 1 = 8|(x-2)|^3[/tex]

Thus, the series converges absolutely if[tex]8|(x-2)|^3[/tex] < 1.

Solving the above inequality for x, we get:

[tex]|8(x-2)^3|[/tex] < 1

Taking the cube root of both sides, we get:

Using cylindrical coordinates,

(a) The volume of the region E is 96π/5 units.

(b) The centroid of E is (0, 0, 24/5) units.

For part (a), we first need to find the limits of integration. Since the paraboloid and the cone intersect at z = 16, we have the limits of integration for z as 2√(x² + y²) ≤ z ≤ 48 - x² - y². For ρ, we have 0 ≤ ρ ≤ 2z/√(2) = z√2, and for θ, we have 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π. Thus, the integral to find the volume is:

V = ∫∫∫ E dV = ∫∫∫ zρ dz dρ dθ

where E is the region given in the problem. Evaluating this integral gives V = (256/15)π.

For part (b), we use the formulas for the centroid in cylindrical coordinates:

x = (1/M) ∫∫∫ E ρ cosθ z dV

y = (1/M) ∫∫∫ E ρ sinθ z dV

z = (1/2M) ∫∫∫ E (ρ² - z²) dV

where M is the mass of the solid. Since the density is constant, M is proportional to the volume, so we can find the centroid by evaluating the integrals without dividing by M. Evaluating these integrals gives (x, y, z) = (0, 0, 16/5).

The difference between the linear and projectile motion is that "Linear-motion" refers to motion of object in a "straight-line", while "projectile-motion" refers to motion of an object that is thrown into air, in a curved path.

In linear motion, the object moves along a straight line, with its velocity and acceleration aligned in the same direction. The object's speed and direction may change, but its motion remains linear.

In projectile motion, the object moves along a curved path under the influence of gravity. The object is launched into the air with an initial velocity, and then gravity causes it to follow a parabolic path until it lands back on the ground. The motion of the object is influenced by both its initial velocity and the force of gravity.

In both linear and projectile motion, the "horizontal-component" of velocity will usually remain constant because there is no external force acting on the object in horizontal direction, and thus no acceleration.

Therefore, the object will continue to move at a constant velocity in the horizontal direction, as long as there is no external force acting on it.

In other words, if we take the derivative of the indefinite integral, we get back the original function (up to a constant of integration). We can utilise the integration rules to integrate each term individually in order to determine the indefinite integral of S(3t²+t/4)dt. Specifically, we can apply the power rule of integration and the constant multiple rule.

∫ 3t² + t/4 dt

Consider the function f(x) = x^2 ln(x).

Taking the derivative of f(x), we get:

f'(x) = 2x ln(x) + x

Setting f'(x) = 0 to find the critical points, we get:

Answer:

12.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + b² = c²

4² + h² = 13²

16 + h² = 169

h² = 169 - 16

h² = 153

h = 12.369316

Answer: 12.4 ft

Answer:

12.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

4² + h² = 13²

h² = 13² - 4² = 169 - 16 = 153

h = √153 ≈ 12.37 ft ≈ 12.4 ft

Assuming an interest rate of 5% per year, the deposit amount required today to provide the annuity is approximately $49,019.15.

To calculate the present value of the annuity, we can use the formula for the present value of an annuity:

PV = PMT x [1 - (1 + r)⁻ⁿ] / r

Where:

PV = Present value

PMT = Payment amount per period

r = Interest rate per period

n = Total number of periods

For the first two years, Piers will receive $1,000 at the end of each month, for a total of 24 payments. Using the formula above, we can calculate the present value of these payments:

PV1 = $1,000 x [1 - (1 + r)⁻²⁴] / r

For the next three years, Piers will receive $500 at the end of each month, for a total of 36 payments. Using the same formula, we can calculate the present value of these payments:

PV2 = $500 x [1 - (1 + r)⁻³⁶] / r

The total present value of the annuity is the sum of PV1 and PV2:

Total PV = PV1 + PV2

Total PV = 24,019+25,000.15 = $49,019.15.
