The cost to the company =
$5.50 per part for x parts
$2,400 manufacturing
The money earned by the company =
$8.80 per part for x parts
For break even situation, the earnings must equal the cost:
8.80x = 5.50x + 2400
3.30x = 2400
x = 727.27
The company must sell 728 parts to break even (because 0.27 part cannot be sold)

Use the given function to find the indicated value(s) of x. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)
Nady [450]

Answer:

For f(x) = √(2·x + 2) - √(x + 18), at f(x) = -1 the possible x-values includes;

-0.757, -17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the function is f(x) = √(2·x + 2) - √(x + 18)

The value of 'x' when f(x) = -1, is given as follows;

-1 = √(2·x + 2) - √(x + 18)

-1² = (√(2·x + 2) - √(x + 18))² = 3·x + 20 - 2·√(2·x + 2)×√(x + 18)

1 = 3·x + 20 - 2·√(2·x + 2)×√(x + 18)

2·√(2·x + 2)×√(x + 18) = 3·x + 20 - 1 = 3·x + 19

2·x² + 38·x + 36 = (3·x + 19)/2

2·x² + 38·x + 36 - (3·x + 19)/2 = 0

4·x² + 73·x + 53 = 0

From which we get;

x = (-73 ± √(73² - 4 × 4 × 53))/(2 × 4)

x ≈ -0.757, and x ≈ -17.5

For the following system, use the second equation to make a substitution for y in the first equation. 2 x + y = 5 y + 3 = 2 x
Anon25 [30]
2x+y=5
y+3=2x
y+3-3 = 2x-3
y= 2x -3

2x + y =5
2x + 2x -3 = 5

PLS HELP ASAP THANKS ILL GIVE BRAINLKEST PLS THANKS
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The y intercept is where x = 0.

X and y are both increasing by 5.

If you add five to the bottom row of the table we see that the next row of the table is x = 0 and y = 13.

This means that (0,13) is the y-intercept and 13 is your correct answer.
