AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the average profit from producing and selling 40 items per day, using the average cost function AC(x) = (100x + 2)/x and average revenue function AR(x) = (100x + 3)/x. Participants clarify the correct formulation of these functions, emphasizing that profit is derived from the difference between revenue and cost. The question also addresses how many items need to be sold to achieve an average daily profit of $80. Understanding the definitions of revenue and cost is crucial for accurate profit calculation. The conversation highlights the importance of correctly interpreting mathematical functions in business contexts.

Please go back, reread the problem, and copy it correctly! I feel sure the average cost is NOT "
100x+2x/x= 100x+ 2". I might guess (100x+ 2x)/x but that is just 102. My best guess is that you meant "AC(x)= (100x+ 2)/x and that AR(x)=(100x+ 3)/x, NOT "100x+ 3/x".

Now, do you know what "revenue" and "cost" mean and how to find profit from them?​

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...

Thread 'Six Pencil Puzzle'

From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
