Net gain/loss for a week = earn money - spent money, 550-200 = 350

By that amount of profit, it will take, 4500/350 =12.8

So, minimum 13 weeks, it will take for Jose to make a profit.

Answer:

It will take a minimum of 13 weeks before Josephine makes a profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let it takes w weeks for Josephine to make profit.

So, her weekly sales over  550 is shown as 550w.

And we can represent her up front and weekly costs over w weeks as: 4500+200w

Now, we need to know when:

550w >(4500+200w)

Solving for w:

550w-200w>4500

=>350w>4500

w>12.85

Means w should be at least 13.

Hence, It will take a minimum of 13 weeks before Josephine makes a profit.

If a+b+c=0 then find the value of a^2+b^2+c^2/a^2-bc pls help me
VladimirAG [237]

a+b+c=0

[(a+b+c)^2=a^2+b^2+c^2+2ab+2ac+2bc]

[a^2+b^2+c^2+2ab+2ac+2bc=0]

[a^2+b^2+c^2=-(2ab+2ac+2bc)]

[a^2+b^2+c^2=-2(ab+ac+bc)] (i)

also

[a=-b-c]

[a^2=-ab-ac] (ii)

[-c=a+b]

[-bc=ab+b^2] (iii)

adding (ii) and (iii) ,we have

[a^2-bc=b^2-ac] (iv)

devide (i) by (iv)

[(a^2+b^2+c^2)/(a^2-bc)=(-2(ab+bc+ca))/(b^2-ac)]
