The break even point is when profit is equal to zero, or in this case when p(x)=0

4x^2-28x+40=0

4(x^2-7x+10)=0

4(x^2-2x-5x+10)=0

4(x(x-2)-5(x-2))=0

4(x-5)(x-2)=0

So the break even points are when x=2 and 5, which is when 2000 and 5000 units are sold.

How many solutions does the equation 3x + 6 equals -1 - 3 + 4x have?
wariber [46]
3x + 6 = -1 - 3 + 4x
Combine like terms on the right side.

3x + 6 = -4 + 4x
Add 4 to both sides.

3x + 10 = 4x
Subtract 3x from both sides.

10 = x

The equation has one solution (10).

Geometry B: fill in the blank
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The circumference of a circle is the distance around the entire circle, while arc length, s, is the distance <u>between</u> two points on the circle.

C = 2πr = 2π( <u>5</u><u> </u>) = 10π ≈ 31.4 units

3.14 is an approximation for π.

s = θ/360° (C)

mAB = 60°/360° ( 31.4)

= <u>1</u><u>/</u><u>6</u>(31.4) ≈5.2 units
