AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a revenue problem involving a duty reduction. The original revenue is expressed as R=0.06Q, and a new duty D is introduced, leading to the equation (2/3)R=D(3/2)Q. The user seeks guidance on setting up the proper equations without a given quantity Q. The derived formula for the new duty is D=(4/9)(R/Q), indicating a relationship between revenue and duty. Further assistance is requested to complete the solution process.

Again here is another problem I am having trouble with.
View attachment 5644For this one

I let $x=$ amount reduced from the original duty
$6-x=$ new amount after reduction.
And knowing the formula for revenue $R=Q*P$ but I can't use it because there is no given quantity.

Please kindly guide me on how to set up proper equation for this one.
Thanks a lot!

Initially, the revenue from the duty (in shillings) is given by:

$$R=0.06Q$$

When a new duty $D$ is imposed, we find:

$$\frac{2}{3}R=D\frac{3}{2}Q$$

Solving for $D$, we obtain:

$$D=\frac{4}{9}\cdot\frac{R}{Q}$$

Can you finish?
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
