First of all get a picture of what this looks like. Desmos is a pretty good graphing program, but anything that will do polar coordinates will work.
Here is the graph.
What you can see is that this graph is symmetrical around the x axis.
When you talk about symmetry, you can think of it as taking a mirror and putting it where you think there is symmetry. If you can't tell the difference between the image and the real thing, then you have symmetry.
In this case, the mirror will show symmetry along the x axis and no where else.
i really appreciate this post you are the real mvp
The answer is 300.
Explanation: 10 times 30 equals 300.
1) Johnson's profit is
... net profit = selling price - costs = $155 - 35.00 - 39.17 - 36.43 = $44.40
His net earnings per hour are then
... earnings/hours = $44.40 / (4.5 h) = $9.87/h
2) net profit = selling price - overhead - cost
... net profit = selling price - 0.45 × selling price - cost . . . . substitute for overhead
... net profit = 0.55 × selling price - cost
Given that overhead = 0.45 × selling price, we can find selling price by dividing by 0.45:
... selling price = overhead/0.45
Using this in the profit equation, we have
... net profit = 0.55×(overhead/0.45) - cost
... = (0.55/0.45) × $65.34 - 49.32 . . . . . . substitute given numbers
... net profit = $30.54
