In this question, the profit of the restaurant after t months is given by a polynomial function. To find when it begins to show a profit, we find the numerical values of the function for t, and it shows a profit when $t > 0$

Profit after t months:

$P(t) = t^4 - 10t^3 + 28t^2 - 24t$

0 months:

This is P(0). So

$P(0) = 0^4 - 10*0^3 + 28*0^2 - 24*0 = 0$

1 month:

This is P(1). So

$P(1) = 1^4 - 10*1^3 + 28*1^2 - 24*1 = -5$

2 months:

This is P(2). So

$P(2) = 2^4 - 10*2^3 + 28*2^2 - 24*2 = 0$

3 months:

This is P(3). So

$P(3) = 3^4 - 10*3^3 + 28*3^2 - 24*3 = -9$

4 months:

This is P(4). So

$P(4) = 4^4 - 10*4^3 + 28*4^2 - 24*4 = -32$

5 months:

This is P(5). So

$P(5) = 5^4 - 10*5^3 + 28*5^2 - 24*5 = -45$

6 months:

This is P(6). So

$P(6) = 6^4 - 10*6^3 + 28*6^2 - 24*6 = 0$

7 months:

This is `P(7). So

$P(7) = 7^4 - 10*7^3 + 28*7^2 - 24*7 = 175$

After 7 months it shows profit, so it starts showing profit on the 6th month, and thus, the correct answer is given by option D.

Please find the square root of 64.

Alexeev081 [22]

You have r^2 = 64 and want to find the square root of 64, which we'll call r.

√(r^2) = r = plus or minus √64

or: r = plus or minus 8
