Math Problem Statement

the revenue, in dollars, made by an auto repair ceenter t days after the start of the month is modeled by r(t)=900e^0.31t. the number of customers who visited the auto repair center t dyas after the start of the month is modeled by c(t)= sqaureroot240t. the revenue earned per customer is given by g(t)=r(t)/c(t). how fast is the rvenue earned per customer changing on the 9th day ​

Solution

To find how fast the revenue earned per customer is changing on the 9th day, we need to calculate the rate of change of g(t)=r(t)c(t)g(t) = \frac{r(t)}{c(t)} with respect to time, tt, and then evaluate it at t=9t = 9.

Step 1: Define the functions

We have the following functions:

  • Revenue function: r(t)=900e0.31tr(t) = 900e^{0.31t}
  • Customer function: c(t)=240t=(240t)1/2c(t) = \sqrt{240t} = (240t)^{1/2}
  • Revenue per customer: g(t)=r(t)c(t)g(t) = \frac{r(t)}{c(t)}

Step 2: Differentiate g(t)g(t)

We use the quotient rule to differentiate g(t)g(t): [ g'(t) = \frac{ \frac{d}{dt}[r(t)] \cdot c(t) - r(t) \cdot \frac{d}{dt}[c(t)] }{[c(t)]^2} ]

First, find the derivatives of r(t)r(t) and c(t)c(t).

Derivative of r(t)r(t):

r(t)=ddt[900e0.31t]=9000.31e0.31t=279e0.31tr'(t) = \frac{d}{dt}[900e^{0.31t}] = 900 \cdot 0.31e^{0.31t} = 279e^{0.31t}

Derivative of c(t)c(t):

c(t)=ddt[(240t)1/2]=12(240t)1/2240=120240tc'(t) = \frac{d}{dt}[(240t)^{1/2}] = \frac{1}{2}(240t)^{-1/2} \cdot 240 = \frac{120}{\sqrt{240t}}

Step 3: Plug these into the quotient rule

Now substitute into the quotient rule: g(t)=279e0.31t240t900e0.31t120240t(240t)g'(t) = \frac{279e^{0.31t} \cdot \sqrt{240t} - 900e^{0.31t} \cdot \frac{120}{\sqrt{240t}}}{(240t)}

Step 4: Evaluate at t=9t = 9

We need to calculate g(9)g'(9). First, plug t=9t = 9 into the expressions for r(t)r(t), r(t)r'(t), c(t)c(t), and c(t)c'(t).

  • r(9)=900e0.31×9=900e2.79r(9) = 900e^{0.31 \times 9} = 900e^{2.79}
  • r(9)=279e2.79r'(9) = 279e^{2.79}
  • c(9)=240×9=2160c(9) = \sqrt{240 \times 9} = \sqrt{2160}
  • c(9)=1202160c'(9) = \frac{120}{\sqrt{2160}}

Now, substitute these values into the expression for g(9)g'(9) and simplify.


This will give the rate at which the revenue per customer is changing on the 9th day.
