Answer:
(a)
(b)P'(5)=-($4.54) Thousand
(c)P'(11)=-($2.10) Thousand
(d)The fifth Month
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the monthly profit model:
(a)We want to derive a model that gives the Marginal Profit, P' of the book.
We differentiate
using quotient rule.
Simplifying
We have derived a model for the marginal profit.
(b) After 5 months, at t=5
Marginal Profit=P'(5)
=-($4.54) Thousand of dollars
(c)Marginal Profit 11 Months after book release
=-($2.10) Thousand of dollars
(d) Since the marginal profit at t=5 is negative, after the 5th Month, the profit starts to experience a steady decrease.

Answer:
z = x^3 +1
Step-by-step explanation:
Noting the squared term, it makes sense to substitute for that term:
z = x^3 +1
gives ...
16z^2 -22z -3 = 0 . . . . the quadratic you want
_____
<em>Solutions derived from that substitution</em>
Factoring gives ...
16z^2 -24z +2z -3 = 0
8z(2z -3) +1(2z -3) = 0
(8z +1)(2z -3) = 0
z = -1/8 or 3/2
Then we can find x:
x^3 +1 = -1/8
x^3 = -9/8 . . . . . subtract 1
x = (-1/2)∛9 . . . . . one of the real solutions
__
x^3 +1 = 3/2
x^3 = 1/2 = 4/8 . . . . . . subtract 1
x = (1/2)∛4 . . . . . . the other real solution
The complex solutions will be the two complex cube roots of -9/8 and the two complex cube roots of 1/2.
Ten thousand is the place value of the 9 in that number
