Answer:

6,000 toothpicks

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are trying to evaluate the number of toothpicks a company must sell to ensure that the money spent on production is exactly equal to revenue from sales.

What we do is this!

Let’s assign a variable to represent the number of tooth picks sold and produced by the company. Let us call this number x.

First, we evaluate the total amount spent on production of x toothpicks. From the question, we can see that the cost of producing a single toothpick is $0.01, hence, to produce x toothpicks, amount spent asides the fixed cost is $0.01 * x = $0.01x

Now, the total cost on production which includes the fixed cost of the company would be $(0.01x + 60). This is the total amount spent to produce the goods.

Now revenue from sales for x toothpicks at $0.02 each is $0.02x

Since we are looking to Breakeven, we equate the costs to the revenue.

0.01x + 60 = 0.02x

0.02x-0.01x = 60

0.01x = 60

x = 60/0.01 = 6,000 toothpicks

f(x)=3x^(4)-5x^(3)-5x^(2)+5x+2 The number 3 is an upper bound for the set of roots of this polynomial function True or False
Leona [35]

Answer: TRUE

Step-by-step explanation: The number 3 is an upper bound because use 3 as a multiplyer of each bcoefficient of the polynomial and at each multiple,subtract the next coefficient from it. if all result after subtraction show positive, then the number used is an upper bound. This method is known as the synthetic division.

3        3      -5     -5        5         2

         0        9     12       21       78

Observe from the graph that the value of X starts at X=0 and the graph is going to the right infinitely.

So the domain of the function should be:

x \geqslant 0
