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

This is a sketch of the curve with equation y = f(x).
Katen [24]

Answer:

We have to use the formule to calculate the vertex which is: V(-b/2a;4ac-b^2/4a)

A) y=x+7 where a=1 b=0 and c=7

By replacing we have: V(0;28/4) V(0;7)

B) y=-x where a=-1 b and c=0 so V(0,0)
