Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
$409.80.
The amount of net profit the store makes on each container is given by 1.67-0.83 (the amount it is sold for subtracted by the amount it costs the store), which is $0.84 per container. They sell 470 containers, so the net profit at this point is 470(0.84) = $394.80.
However, since the distributor is giving the store a $0.50 refund on all every container under 500 that the store sells, the store gets additional money back:
500-470 = 30 containers not sold
30(0.50) = 15
So the total profit is $394.80 + 15 = $409.80.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminant is used to determine the number and nature of the zeros of a quadratic. If the discriminant is positive and a perfect square, there are 2 rational zeros; if the discriminant is positive and not a perfect square, there are 2 rational complex zeros; if the discriminant is 0, there is 1 rational root; if the discriminant is negative, there are no real roots.
The roots/solutions/zeros of a quadratic are where the graph goes through the x axis. Those are the real zeros, even if they don't fall exactly on a number like 1 or 2 or 3; they can fall on 1.32, 4.35, etc. They are still real. If the graph doesn't go through the x-axis at all, the zeros are imaginary because the discriminant was negative and you can't take the square root of a negative number. As you can see on our graph, the parabola never goes through the x-axis. Therefore, the zeros are imaginary because the discriminant was negative. Choice C. Get familiar with your discriminants and the nature of quadratic solutions. Your life will be much easier!
