I found the same problem but with given choices:
A.1 year
<span>B.2 years </span>
<span>C.3 years </span>
<span>D.4 years </span>
<span>E.6 years
</span>
profit = total revenue - total cost
p(x) = x³ - 4x² + 3x - 12
simply plug each choices to solve. answer must be 0.
A) p(1) = 1³ - 4(1²) + 3(1) - 12 = 1 - 4 + 3 - 12 = -12
B) p(2) = 2³ - 4(2²) + 3(2) - 12 = 8 - 16 + 3 - 12 = -17
C) p(3) = 3³ - 4(3²) + 3(3) - 12 = 27 - 36 + 9 - 12 = -12
D) p(4) = 4³ - 4(4²) + 3(4) - 12 = 64 - 64 + 12 - 12 = 0
E) p(6) = 6³ - 4(6²) + 3(6) - 12 = 216 - 144 + 18 - 12 = 78
It would take 4 years for the company to reach break-even point.
Since you multiple the -8 points you earned on each of the 4 turns times the number of terms, -8 times 4 is -32. Your score would be -32
Answer:
tge answer is -8
Step-by-step explanation:
-14+8-5+8-2-3=-8
