Answer:

The number of key rings sold on a particular day when the total profit is $5,000 is 4,000 rings.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete.

<em>An owner of a key rings manufacturing company found that the profit earned (in thousands of dollars) per day by selling n number of key rings is given by </em>

<em />P=n^2-2n-3<em />

<em>where n is the number of key rings in thousands.</em>

<em>Find the number of key rings sold on a particular day when the total profit is $5,000.</em>

<em />

We have the profit defined by a quadratic function.

We have to calculate n, for which the profit is $5,000.

P=n^2-2n-3=5\\\\n^2-2n-8=0

We have to calculate the roots of the polynomial we use the quadratic equation:

n=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\n= \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4-4*1*(-8)}}{2}= \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{4-32}}{2} = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{36}}{2} =\frac{-2\pm6}{2} \\\\n_1=(-2-6)/2=-8/2=-4\\\\n_2=(-2+6)/2=4/2=2

n1 is not valid, as the amount of rings sold can not be negative.

Then, the solution is n=4 or 4,000 rings sold.

Which point slope form equations could be produced with the points (3,2) and (4,6)
Anika [276]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

To find the equation of a line given two points first find the slope of the line and use the formula

y - y1 = m( x - x1) to find the Equation of the line using any of the points given

Slope of the line using points

(3,2) and (4,6) is

m =  \frac{6 - 2}{4 - 3}   =  \frac{4}{1}  = 4

So the equation of the line using point

( 3 , 2 ) and slope 4 is

<h3>y - 2 = 4( x - 3)</h3>

Hope this helps you

Round 0.687 yo the nearest tenths place
Vaselesa [24]

Answer: 0.7

Locate the tenths place which is just to the right of the decimal point. We see a 6 in this spot. Just to the right of this 6 is the value 8. Since 8 is larger than 5, we bump the 6 up to 7 and erase everything else to the right. You can think of it like this

0.687 ---> 0.6 which bumps up to 0.7

This is like saying 687 is closer to 700 than it is to 600
