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.

Volunteers were 3/4 finished with the walkathon when they reached the 4 1/2 kilometer mark. How many kilometers was the walkatho
den301095 [7]
5 I think, cause if your 3/4 ways done you need to walk 1/2 more kilometers to be finished... So if you add 1/2 to 41/2 it equals 5
