Answer:

width = 6

length = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter = 2L + 2W

L = W - 2

plug in perimeter:

20 = 2L + 2W

you know the length is 2 less than the width

plug in (w - 2) for L:

20 = 2(w - 2) + 2w

solve for w:

20 = 2w - 4 + 2w

20 = 4w - 4

4w = 24

w = 6

now plug in 6 for w in either equation, whichever is easier to solve:

L = 6 - 2

L = 4

width = 6

length = 4

The profit function for a new product is given by p(x) = -4x^2+28x-40, where x is the number sold in thousands. How many items m
Ivenika [448]
The break even point is when profit is equal to zero, or in this case when p(x)=0

4x^2-28x+40=0

4(x^2-7x+10)=0

4(x^2-2x-5x+10)=0

4(x(x-2)-5(x-2))=0

4(x-5)(x-2)=0

So the break even points are when x=2 and 5, which is when 2000 and 5000 units are sold.
