Short Answer

Expert verified

The scatter diagram is linear.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The given scatter diagram is,

02

Examine the scatter diagram

The points seem to generally fall along with a line then it would be linear or along some curve then it would be nonlinear.

If connect the points the path would be linear as shown below,

The scatter diagram is linear.

Hint: If necessary, write fin the form f(x)=a(x-h)2+k.

f(x)=3x2+6x

The monthly revenue R achieved by selling

x wristwatches is figured to be R(x)=75x-0.2x2The monthly cost C of selling x wristwatches isC(x)=32x+1750

(a) How many wristwatches must the firm sell to maximize revenue? What is the maximum revenue?

(b) Profit is given as P(x) = R(x) - C(x). What is the profit function?

(c) How many wristwatches must the firm sell to maximize

profit? What is the maximum profit?

(d) Provide a reasonable explanation as to why the answers found in parts (a) and (c) differ. Explain why a quadratic function is a reasonable model for revenue.
