Answer:

The manufacturer will have no profit or loss when the selling price equals $200 or $100.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression to model the monthly profit from sales of a new model of bicycle is

-x^2 + 300x -20,000

Let

f(x) -----> the monthly profit in dollars

x -----> s the selling price of one bicycle in dollars

f(x)= -x^{2}+300x-20,000

we know that

The manufacturer will make no profit nor a loss when the profit is equal to zero

so

f(x)=0

-x^{2}+300x-20,000=0

Multiply by -1 both sides

x^{2}-300x+20,000=0

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^{2} +bx+c=0 is equal to

x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

a=1\\b=-300\\c=20,000

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{300(+/-)\sqrt{-300^{2}-4(1)(20,000)}}{2(1)}

x=\frac{300(+/-)\sqrt{10,000}}{2}

x=\frac{300(+/-)100}{2}

x=\frac{300(+)100}{2}=200

x=\frac{300(-)100}{2}=100

therefore

The manufacturer will have no profit or loss when the selling price equals $200 or $100.

Find each product.<br><br> (5-x2+2)(-3)<br><br> PLEASE HELP!!! ASAP!!!
Bumek [7]

Answer:

3x^2 - 21 (did you mean for the equation to be (5 - x^2 + 2) \cdot -3?)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying -3 by each term:

-3 \cdot 5 = -15

-x^2 \cdot -3 = 3x^2

-3 \cdot 2 = -6

-15-6 = -21

So the equation comes out to 3x^2 - 21 .

Hope this helped!
