The point at which a company's profits equal zero is called the company's break-even point. let R represent a company's revenue,

let C represent the company's costs, and let x represent the number of units produced and sold each day.
R(x)=12x
C(x)=6.5x+22000
a) Find the firm's break-even point; that is, find x so that R=C
b) Find the values of x such that R(x)>C(x). this represents the number of units that the company must sell to earn a profit.

<span>a)     </span>R=C implies 12x=6.5x + 22000, and then 12x - 6.5x= 22000, 5.5x= 22000, from where we find x = 22000 : 5.5,     x=4000.

<span>b)     </span><span>For R(x)>C(x), we get 12x>6.5x + 22000, which implies after the same calculation,  x>4000</span>

R ( x ) = 12 x ( revenue )
C ( x ) = 6.5 x + 22,000 ( cost )
a ) Break-even point : R ( x ) = C ( x )
12 x = 6.5 x + 22,000
12 x - 6.5 x = 22,000
5.5 x = 22,000
x = 22,000 : 5.5
x = 4,000
b ) R ( x ) > C ( x ) 
x > 4,000
The number of units that the company must sell to earn a profit is 4,001 or more.

Select and use the most direct method to solve 2x(x + 1.5) = -1. Describe and justify the methods you used to solve the quadrati
miskamm [114]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A quadratic equation,

2x(x + 1.5) = -1

We need to solve the quadratic equation. Firstly we need to simplify the above equation to form it as ax^2+bx+c=0.

So,

2x^2+3x=-1\\\\2x^2+3x+1=0

Here, a = 2, b = 3 and c = 1

The roots of the given equation can be given by :

x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

Putting all the values we get :

x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2+4ac} }{2a}, \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\\\\x=\dfrac{-3\pm \sqrt{3^2+4(2)(1)} }{2(2)}, \dfrac{-3\pm \sqrt{3^2-4(2)(1)} }{2(2)}\\\\x=\dfrac{-3+1}{4}, \dfrac{-3-1}{4}\\\\x=-\dfrac{1}{2}, -1

So, the roots of the given equation is -1/2 and -1.
