The break even point is when profit is equal to zero, or in this case when p(x)=0
4x^2-28x+40=0
4(x^2-7x+10)=0
4(x^2-2x-5x+10)=0
4(x(x-2)-5(x-2))=0
4(x-5)(x-2)=0
So the break even points are when x=2 and 5, which is when 2000 and 5000 units are sold.

Answer:
a^2 + 2ab + b^2 - c^2
Step-by-step explanation:
When you multiply all the terms together you get a^2 + ab + ac + ab + b^2 + bc - ac - bc - c^2. Then you can just combine like terms and simplify it to a^2 + 2ab + b^2 - c^2. Hope this helps :)
Find the rate of change, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), from the data given...
(2.16-1.26)/(12-7)=0.18
(1.26-0.72)/(7-4)=0.18
Since the rate is constant, this is a linear equation of the form y=mx+b. Furthermore, since 0 pencils cost 0, b=0, so the cost of the pencils is simply the number of pencils times 18 cents...
c(p)=0.18p (cost with respect to pencils is 0.18 times the number of pencils)
The value would be 4.
First, you have to do 4 + 3 because it's in parenteces. This equals 7
Secondly, you have to do 2 x 7, which is 14.
Last you have to do 18 - 14 which is 4.
