so the company has an overhead of $600, usually that involves premises leasing and industrial equipment for the manufacturing of the product, that's cost. The cost to make each item is 50 cents, so if the company produces "x" items, their cost is 0.5x total.
so our cost equation C(x) = 0.5x + 600 <---- items' cost plus overhead.
the company sells the product for 85 cents, so if they sell "x" items, their total revenue or income will be 0.85x.
so our revenue equation is simply R(x) = 0.85x.
as you already know, the break-even point is when.... well, you break even, no losses but no gains either, how much you take in is the same amount that you shelled out, namely R(x) = C(x).
Answer:
$1.50
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the best deal, we first want to consider price per unit. To find the price per unit, we divide the price by the number of units. For the 10 shin guard package, our price is 14.50, and we divide that by 10 to get 1.45 . Therefore, our unit price for the package of 10 is $1.45 per shin guard. Similarly, we can find the unit price for the package of 15 to be 22.5/15 = $1.50 per shin guard. As 1.50 is greater than 1.45, the lowest unit price is for the package of 10.
The question is asking for us to compare the prices if we bought 30 of each. For the package of 10, we get 1.45*30 (as we're buying 30 for 1.45) = 43.5 as the total price, and for the package of 15, we get 1.5*30 = 45 as our price. As 15 and 10 are both factors of 30, we don't need to worry about converting it back into packages of 10/15. The difference between buying 30 at the lowest and highest unit price is therefore (45-43.5)=1.5 dollars
Answer:
A) 
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph has x-intercepts at 
and 
, so our factors for the polynomial will be 
and 
. This means we can rule out options B and D.
Our graph also has a y-intercept of 
when 
, so if we let 
and , we can find the multiplier:
Thus, the correct equation is A)
Answer:
The solution set is the empty set.
Step-by-step explanation:
{x | x < 2} is the set of all numbers less than 2. This means x can take values such as 1.99, 0, -2000 and so on. That is, all values less than 2.
{x | x ≥ 2} is the set of all numbers equal to or greater than 2. This means x can take values such as 2, 2.1, 5000, and so on. That is, 2 or any value greater than 2.
Since there is no sign between the two sets, the question is asking for the intersection between these two sets. That is, what elements are common to these two sets? As we can see, the two sets don't have any common element. Hence, their intersection is the empty set.
(Note that the union of these two sets would be the set of all real numbers as that includes all elements from either set).
