Answer:

The Company AB must sell 116 computers to break even

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$R(x)=1.5x$ -----> equation A

$C(x)=145+\frac{1}{4}x$ ----> equation B

where

C is the cost function

R is the revenue function

x is the number of computers sold

we know that

Break even is when the cost is equal to the revenue

equate equation A and equation B

$1.5x=145+\frac{1}{4}x$

Solve for x

subtract 1/4x both sides

$1.5x-\frac{1}{4}x=145$

$1.5x-0.25x=145$

$1.25x=145$

Divide by 1.25 both sides

$x=116$

therefore

The Company AB must sell 116 computers to break even

Help for both a and b

Hi!

Remember that an x-intercept is a point in which the line touches the x-axis (the horizontal line). And, the y-intercept is a point in which the line touches the y-axis (the vertical/up and down line)

-----------------

For A)

The coordinate of the y-intercept is (0,1)

The coordinate of the x-intercept is (3,0)

For B)

The coordinate of the y-intercept is (0,0)

The coordinate of the x-intercept is (0,0) !

*both the x and y axis meet at the origin. So, a line that goes through the origin (0,0) is intersecting with BOTH the x and y-axis.

Hope I helped! Comment if you have any questions or concerns.

Answer:

If you cut along the dotted line and remove the pieces you cut off, fold the sides inward and you get a moving box.

Each dotted line is 2 feet long, and each un-dotted line is also two feet.

Good luck, I hope this helps because honestly I just tried to figure it out for an hour. Lol.

At Information and Communications University: 31 female seniors were on the dean’s list 62 women were on the dean’s list who wer

inessss [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

There's a lot of information here, so first things first, let's get organized.

Let's start by assigning variable names to each group. We want the variables to be short but easy to understand.

For example, let's say the number of female seniors on the dean's list is FSD (F for female, S for senior, and D for dean's list).

FSD = 31

Sticking to this naming scheme:

FD = 62

MSD = 45

FS = 87

MS = 96

F = 275

MD = 88

M = 227

Now we can begin.

a) We want to know how many seniors there are. So all we have to do is add up all the variables with an S in them.

FSD + MSD + FS + MS

31 + 45 + 87 + 96

259

b) We want to know how many women there are. So add up all the variables with an F in them.

FSD + FD + FS + F

31 + 62 + 87 + 275

455

c) We want to know how many are on the dean's list. So add up all the variables with a D in them.

FSD + FD + MSD + MD

31 + 62 + 45 + 88

226

d) Now we want to know how many are seniors AND on the dean's list. So add up all the variables that have both an S and a D.

FSD + MSD

31 + 45

e) We want to know how many female seniors there are, so add up all the variables with both an F and an S.

FSD + FS

31 + 87

118

f) We want to know how many women were on the dean's list, so add up all the variables with both an F and a D.

FSD + FD

31 + 62

g) Finally, we want to know how many students there are total. So add up all the variables.

FSD + FD + MSD + FS + MS + F + MD + M

62 + 45 + 87 + 96 + 275 + 88 + 227
