Answer:

hope this helps :))

Step-by-step explanation:

the break even point is when y = 0 because y is the profit. This is also the x-intercept so since the x-axis represents the years, the x-intercept is the break even point, in this case that number is 4. So 4 years is the correct answer. its an easier way to think about it i think.     also, can i pretty pretty please get brainliest :))

No profit means P(x)=0: x³-4x²+3x-12=0
factor by regrouping: x²(x-4)+3(x-4)=0
take out (x-4): (x-4)(x²+3)=0
x=4 or x²=-3
x² is not a negative number, so x=4 is the only answer.

Which expression can be expanded using the binomial theorem?
kirill [66]

Answer:

The third choice:  (x² - 1)³

Step-by-step explanation:

That is the only expression that is a binomial.  Binomial means "two numbers".  For this expression, x² is one number, and -1 is the other.  Choice 1 is a monomial (one number) and choices 2 and 4 are trinomials (three numbers)
