For this case what we must do is find a quadratic function that is already factored.
This is because in the factored quadratic equations, it is easier to observe the zeros of the function.
In this case, the zeros of the function represent the time at which the company did not make any profit.
We have the following equation:
p (t) = 40 (t - 3) (t + 2) (t - 5) (t + 3)
We observed that there was no gain in:
t = 3
t = 5
The other roots are discarded because they are negative
Answer:
a.p (t) = 40 (t - 3) (t + 2) (t - 5) (t + 3)
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
3 - 5 = -2
Place the dot on -2 on the number line that is on your problem as the answer. To show the steps on the number line, use your jumps to go back. For example, your starting point will be on 3, and then use your jumps to go back by 5; that means you go into the negatives. For this case, it is -2.
