An entrepreneur estimates that the total profit (profit = total revenue minus total cost) from his proposed company will be give

n by the function P(x) = x3 – 4x2 + 3x – 12, where P is in hundreds of dollars and x is the number of years elapsed after the company starts operations. In how many years (x) will the company break even (no profit, no loss)?

P ( x ) = x³ - 4 x² + 3 x - 12 = 
= x² ( x - 4 ) +3 ( x - 4 ) = ( x - 4 ) · ( x² + 3 ) 
x - 4 = 0,  x = 4
x² + 3 = 0,  x² = - 3 ( there is no real solution )
Answer: In 4 years the company will break even.

The vector ab has a magnitude of 20 units and is parallel to the<br> vector 4i + 3j.<br> find ab.
stepladder [879]

The vector ab has a magnitude of 20 units and is parallel to the

vector 4i + 3j. Hence, The vector AB is 16i + 12j.

<h3>How to find the vector?</h3>

If we have given a vector v of initial point A and terminal point B

v = ai + bj

then the components form as;

AB = xi + yj

Here, xi and yj are the components of the vector.

Given;

The vector ab has a magnitude of 20 units and is parallel to the

vector 4i + 3j.

magnitude

\sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} \\\\\sqrt{16 + 9} \\\\= 5

Unit vector in direction of resultant = (4i + 3j) / 5

Vector of magnitude 20 unit in direction of the resultant

= 20  x (4i + 3j) / 5

= 4 x (4i + 3j)

= 16i + 12j

Hence, The vector AB is 16i + 12j.

Tems11 [23]

Answer: y=2x+4 for parallel and y=-1/2x+1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: you need to do an equation using the slope which you can find by using y2-y1/x2-x1

from there you have to use y-y1=m(x-x1)
