Jeremy opens a chocolate shop in the city. He pays $1,500 a month for rent and maintenance of the shop. The price of raw materia

ls and manufacturing the chocolates is $6,000 a month. He sells the chocolates individually and in boxes of a dozen. Jeremy understands that his business needs a little time to become a success and decides that he wants to build a customer base initially. He is happy to break even for the first year. After a year, Jeremy prices his chocolates at $3 apiece. He offers a discount of 10% on boxes of chocolate to promote the sale of boxes. How many boxes of chocolate would he have to sell to recover the cost of running the business this year per month? (Assume that he sells no individual chocolates.)

Answer: x=232

Explanation:

1. 3x12=36

2. 36/10=3.6, 36-3.6=32.4

3. 1,500+6000<32.4x

4. 232=x, x=232

find the equations of the tangents to the curve y= x(x-1)(x+2) at the points where the curve cuts the x axis
antoniya [11.8K]

First of all, we compute the points of interest, i.e. the points where the curve cuts the x axis: since the expression is already factored, we have

x(x-1)(x+2) = 0 \iff x=0\ \lor\ x-1=0\ \lor\ x+2=0

Which means that the roots are

x=0\ \lor\ x=1\ \lor\ x=-2

Next, we can expand the function definition:

y = x(x-1)(x+2) = x^3 + x^2 - 2x

In this form, it is much easier to compute the derivative:

y' = 3x^2+2x-2

If we evaluate the derivative in the points of interest, we have

y'(-2) = 6,\quad y'(0)=-2,\quad y'(1)=3

This means that we are looking for the equations of three lines, of which we know a point and the slope. The equation

y-y_0=m(x-x_0)

is what we need. The three lines are:

y-0=6(x+2) \iff y = 6x+12  This is the tangent at x = -2

y-0=-2(x-0) \iff y = -2x  This is the tangent at x = 0

y-0=3(x-1) \iff y = 3x-3  This is the tangent at x = 1
