Answer:

Inequality: 7.5x – 100 > 79.86 + 5.8x

Solution: x>106

The company must sell at least  106 items to make a profit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Revenue: 7.5x – 100

Costs: 79.86 + 5.8x

To make a profit, a company’s revenue must be greater than its operating costs.

So:

7.5x – 100 > 79.86 + 5.8x

Solving for x (number of items sold)

7.5x-5.8x>79.86+100

1.7x >179.86

x>179.86/1.7

x> 105.8

x>106

The company must sell at least 106 items to make a profit.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Solve 5(2^x+4)=15 round to the nearest thousandth
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by dividing by 5

2x + 4 = 3            

Is this written as 2^(x + 4) = 3? I think it is.

Take the log of both sides

log 2^(x + 4) = log(3)

(x + 4) * log(2) = log 3

log 2 = 0.30103

log 3 = 0.47712

(x + 4) = log2 / log3

x + 4 = 0.63093               Add 4 to both sides

x = -3.369                        Rounded to the nearest thousandth

====================

If you mean the question exactly as it is written (the 4 is not part of the power)

5(2^x + 4) = 15

2^x + 4 = 3

2^x = 3 - 4

2^x = - 1

This can't be done 2 to any power should be >0.

if x>0 then this will give an ever increasing number

if xK0 then this will give an ever decreasing answer but still greater than 0.

No value will make 2^x go to something minus.

If I have misread this in some way, leave a note and I will get back to you.

How are natural numbers, whole numbers and integers used in everyday life?
Nezavi [6.7K]
Natural numbers: Counting things! You look around your room and see an electronic device, then another, then another! You just counted to 3 using the natural numbers.

Whole numbers! You try to look for electronic devices and realise that they’re all gone. You have zero electronic devices, and you just used whole numbers.

You go online to find where your electronic devices went, and realise they were taken because you’re in debt to the bank so they took some of your stuff. You’re in negative numbers, and now you’ve used integers.
