Acompany operates two plants which manufacture the same item and whose total cost functions are

c_1 = 6.5 + 0.04q1^2 and c_2 = 5.2 + 0.05q2^2,

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 = 40 - 0.05q.

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

q1=?

q2=?

step-by-step explanation:

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
