Answer:

Yes, the company can expect a profit in the long term

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are to project if a company is expected to make a profit or loss given the information in the question.

Let’s use the scenario of 50 gadgets produced.

1 is expected to be faulty, while 49 is thus expected to work perfectly.

Now, on this 49 sold, there is an expectancy of $3 profit. Hence, this means that for a batch of 50 gadgets produced, the amount of expected profit will be 49 * 3 = $147

The amount that would be used to repair the faulty unit is $80. If we subtract this from the total expected profit, we have $147-$80 = $67

Hence, per 50 gadgets sold, a total of $67 in profit is to be expected

This means profit is expected in the long tey

tiny-mole [99]
Well.. for the equation x= 3.5, let's take a look at its values
\bf \begin{array}{lrlll}
x&y\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
3.5&-\infty\\
3.5&-1,000,000\\
3.5&-1,000\\
3.5&-100\\
3.5&-10\\
3.5&-1\\
3.5&0\\
3.5&1\\
3.5&10\\
3.5&100\\
3.5&1,000\\
3.5&1,000,000\\
3.5&1+\infty
\end{array}

so.. notice.. no matter what "y" is, "x"  will always be 3.5,
so is really just a horizontal line, thus, look at the picture below

8. Math on the Spot Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes
PolarNik [594]

Answer: y=-x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, 5 and -6 have to be substituted in the place of x in the equation y = -x + b(The slope has to be the same because the line is parallel). -6 = -5 + b, b = -1. This means that the equation is y = -x - 1.
