Question

PLEASE I DID THE ANSWER!!!!! Help me! PART B PART C

Answer 1

Answer:

A.) P^2 - 10p + 24 = 0

B.) 6 or 4 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a company’s weekly revenue, in thousands, is modeled by the equation

R = -p2 + 14p,

where p is the price of the product it makes. The company is considering hiring an outside source to distribute its products, which will cost the company 4p + 24 thousand dollars per week.

If the company want to break even, the cost of hiring distributors will be equal to the revenue per week.

Therefore,

-P^2 + 14p = 4p + 24

Collect the like terms

-P^2 + 14p - 4p - 24 = 0

-P^2 + 10p - 24 = 0

Multiply all by minus sign

P^2 - 10p + 24 = 0

B.) To find P, factorize the equation above.

P^2 - 10p + 24 = 0

- 6 x - 4 = 24 and - 6 - 4 = 10

P^2 - 4p - 6p + 24 = 0

P( p - 4 ) - 6( p - 4 )

P - 6 = 0 or p - 4 = 0

P = 6 or 4

Substitute both back into the equation to test their authenticates

When p = 6

6^2 - 10(6) + 24 = 0

When p = 4

4^2 - 10(4) + 24 = 0
