Submit Answel 6. [-/6 Points] PRACTICE ANOTHER An automobile manufacturer sells cars in America, Europe, and Asia, charging a different price in each of the three markets. The price function for cars sold in America is

p=22-0.2x

(for

0<=x<=110

), the price function for cars sold in Europe is

q=15-0.1y

(for

0<=y<=150

), and the price function for cars sold in Asia is

r=19-0.1z

(for

0<=z<=190

), all in thousands of dollars, where

x,y

, and

z

are the numbers of cars sold in America, Europe, and Asia, respectively. The company's cost function is

C=24+4(x+y+z)

thousand dollars. (a) Find the company's profit function

P(x,y,z)

. [Hint: The profit will be revenue from America plus revenue from Europe plus revenue from Asia minus costs, where each revenue is price times quantity.]

P(x,y,z)=

(b) Find how many cars should be sold in each market to maximize profit. [Hint: Set the three partials

P_(x^('))P_(y^('))

, and

P_(z)

equal to zero and solve. Assuming that the maximum exists, it must occur at this point.] America

Europe

Asia
