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.

Suppose y varies directly with x. If y = -4 when x = 8, what is the equation of direct variation?
tresset_1 [31]

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=kx\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} k=constant\ of\\ \qquad variation \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \textit{we also know that }~~ \begin{cases} y=-4\\ x=8 \end{cases}\implies -4=k(8)\implies \cfrac{-4}{8}=k\implies -\cfrac{1}{2}=k \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill y=-\cfrac{1}{2}x~\hfill
