Answer:
(a) P(x) = 300 x - 3600
(b) P(340) = $ 98400
(c) At least 12 items must be sold to avoid losing money.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part (a):
The Profit function is the difference between the revenue function (R(x)) and the Cost (C(x)) function:
P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
P(x) = 384 x - [84 x + 3600]
P(x) = 384 x - 84 x - 3600
P(x) = 300 x - 3600
Part (b):
The profit on 340 items is:
P(340) = 300 (340) - 3600
P(340) = 102000 - 3600
P(340) = $ 98400
Part (c):
To avoid losing money, the profit P(x) has to be larger or equal than zero. That is:
P(x) 
0
300 x -3600 0
300 x 3600
x 3600/300
x 12
So at least 12 items must be sold to avoid losing money.
Answer:
56 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of ways is given by n combination r (n!/(n - r)!r!)
n = total number of students = 8, r = the number of summer courses = 3
Number of ways = 8 combination 3 = 8!/(8-3)!3! = 8!/5!3! = 8×7×6×5!/5!×6 = 8×7 = 56 ways
For an instance, i stands for the money that you have, and b stands for the money that brother has.
An equation system based on the problem would be
i + b = 42 (equation 1)
i = 3b (equation 2)
Use substitution method to solve the problem
substitute 3b into i in the equation 1
i + b = 42
3b + b = 42
4b = 42
b = 42/4
b = 10.5
substitute the value of b into the equation 1
i = 3b
i = 3(10.5)
i = 31.5
You have $31.5 and your brother has $10.5
To take a root of a fraction, take the root of the numerator and denominator separately
Write the number in exponential form with a base of 2 to the second power
Write the number in exponential form with a base of 3 to the third power
Reduce the index of the radical and exponent with2
Reduce the index of the radical and exponent with 2
Then it’s gonna be 2/3 2over3
-3 2/3
Reduce the numbers with greatest common divisor 3
Then the answer will be -2
