Answer:880

Step-by-step explanation: They need to cover expense of $13200. If printing fee is $25 and they sell the books for $40 each, then that means when selling a book they cover expense of printing plus they earn $15 per book.

So if they earn $15 per book that means they have to sell 13200/15=880 books to break even.

If you want to solve this by using equation the this would look like this:

expenses: $13200 + $25x where x is number of books sold

earnings: $40x

Equation:

13200+25x=40x

13200=15x

x=880

Identify the type of function represented by... please help
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Exponential decay.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use a graphing utility to check this pretty quickly, but you can also look at the equation and get the answer. Since the function has a variable in the exponent, it definitely won't be a linear equation. Quadratic equations are ones of the form ax^2 + bx + c, and your function doesn't look like that, so already you've ruled out two answers.

From the start, since we have a variable in the exponent, we can recognize that it's exponential. Figuring out growth or decay is a little more complicated. Having a negative sign out front can flip the graph; having a negative sign in the exponent flips the graph, too. In your case, you have no negatives; just 2(1/2)^x. What you need to note here, and you could use a few test points to check, is that as x gets bigger, (1/2) will get smaller and smaller. Think about it. When x = 0, 2(1/2)^0 simplifies to just 2. When x = 1, 2(1/2)^1 simplifies to 1. Already, we can tell that this graph is declining, but if you want to make sure, try a really big value for x, like 100. 2(1/2)^100 is a value very very very veeery close to 0. Therefore, you can tell that as the exponent gets larger, the value of the function goes down and gets closer and closer to zero. This means that it can't be exponential growth. In the case of exponential growth, as the exponent gets bigger, your output should increase, too.

If the number of bacteria in a colony doubles every 210 minutes and the population is currently 8,000 bacteria, what will the po
Stells [14]

Answer:

D is the answer

64,000 exponential function  

Step-by-step explanation:

64,000 exponential function  

The number of bacteria in a colony doubles  every 210 minutes.

The population of bacteria = 8000

Determine how many times the population will double.

\frac{630}{210}

 = 3

Multiply the population by 2 a total of 3 times.

8000 × 2³ = 64,000

AlekseyPX
They basically make a profit of $2.85. Because $9.95 - $7.10 = $2.85.

To break even you would have to sell 4000 footballs. Because 11,400 / 2.85 = 4000.
