Answer:

$2.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling them at 5 cents each ($0.05), he could sell 1 dozen buttons for

12 * $0.05 = $0.60

As he bought them at $0.38 per dozen, the profit per dozen would be

4. The following set of points belong to a specific function: {(-3,0)(-2,4), (-1,0 ), (0,-6),(1,-8), (2,0),(3,24)} Based on the
notsponge [240]

The type of function that these sets of points are known to produce is the cubic function.

<h3>What is a cubic function?</h3>

This is a function that is known to be a polynomial of degree 3. This type of polynomial is one that the coefficients are known to be complex numbers.

This is a cubic function given that the x axis is known to go through these points (-3,0), (-1,0), (2,0).

b. Given the sets of pints that we have, we have the equation

f(x) = a(x+3)(x+1)(x-2)

Such that

f = -2 =

4 = a x 1 x -1 x -4

4 = 4a

a = 1
