n by the function P(x) = x3 – 4x2 + 3x – 12, where P is in hundreds of dollars and x is the number of years elapsed after the company starts operations. In how many years (x) will the company break even (no profit, no loss)?

To determine the number of years when the company will breakeven, we use the equation given. At the breakeven point, the company has no profit and loses. So, we P(x) = 0. We calculate as follows:
<span>P(x) = x3 – 4x2 + 3x – 12
0 = </span>x^3 – 4x^2 + 3x – 12
x = 4 , 1.732i, -1.732i

Solving for x, we will have three value one real and 2 imaginary values. Since time cannot be negative and imaginary. The answer would be 4. After 4 years, the company will break even.

Can y’all plz help me ?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

x=-5

Step-by-step explanation

The first box has eight x's and six 1's which means that it would be written as 8x+6

The second box has four x's and fourteen -1's which means that it would be written as 4x-14

You set them equal to one another

8x+6=4x-14

You subtract 4x from both sides

4x+6=-14

Subtract 6 on both sides

4x=-20

Divide 4 on both sides

x=-5

Hope it helps :))

Domain of the function f(x)=3x/4x^2-4
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

the complete question in the attached figure


we have that

f(x)=3x/(4x²-4)


we know that

the denominator can not be zero

so

(4x²-4)=0

4x²=4

x²=1----> x=(+/-)√1

x1=1

x2=-1

the values ​​of x=1 and x= -1 make the denominator zero, therefore they do not belong to the domain of the function


the answer is

the domain of the function is all real numbers except 1 and -1
