To determine the number of years when the company will breakeven, we use the equation given. At the breakeven point, the company has no profit and loses. So, we P(x) = 0. We calculate as follows:
<span>P(x) = x3 – 4x2 + 3x – 12
0 = </span>x^3 – 4x^2 + 3x – 12
x = 4 , 1.732i, -1.732i
Solving for x, we will have three value one real and 2 imaginary values. Since time cannot be negative and imaginary. The answer would be 4. After 4 years, the company will break even.
Answer:
789
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: -4.5, but only if the phrase "five twice the sum . . ." means 5*2*(the sum of . . .). "five twice" is confusing, so please check the question.
Step-by-step explanation:
5*2*(X + 3) = 3*(2X - 1)
10X + 15 = 6X -3
4X = -18
X = -18/4
X = - 4.5
