The revenue function R(x) and the cost function C(x) for a particular product are given. These functions are valid only for the

specified range of values. Find the number of units that must be produced to break even.
R(x)=200x-x^2; C(x)=35x+4550; 0< x < 100. The < symbol has a line under it.
The manufacturer must produce _______ units to break even.

Answer:

The manufacturer must produce 35 units to break even.

Step-by-step explanation:

The break even function is when those functions, the revenue R(x) and the cost C(x), are equal. So

R(x) = C(x)

200x - x^{2} = 35x + 4550

x^{2} + 35x - 200x + 4550 = 0

x^{2} - 165x + 4550 = 0

So we have to solve this quadratic function to find the number of units that the manufacturer must produce to break even:

Solving a quadratic function:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = (x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4a

In this problem, we have that:

x^{2} - 165x + 4550 = 0

So

a = 1, b = -165, c = 4550

\bigtriangleup = (-165)^{2} - 4(1)(4550) = 9025

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a} = \frac{-(-165) + \sqrt{9025}}{2(1)} = 130

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a} = \frac{-(-165) - \sqrt{9025}}{2(1)} = 35

The manufacturer produces between 0 and 100 units. So the answer is 35.

The manufacturer must produce 35 units to break even.

Answer:

A). 2p^{8}

B). 3m^{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

A). \sqrt{4p^{16}}

    To get the square root of the given expression we will convert it into the square form.

4p^{16}=(2)^2(p^{8})^2 [Since 2×2 = 4 and p^{8}\times p^{8}=p^{16}]

Therefore, \sqrt{4p^{16}}=\sqrt{2^{2}\times (p^{8})^2 }

                             =2p^{8}

B). \sqrt{9m^{44}}

    Since, 9m^{14}=(3)^2\times (m^7)^2

    Therefore,  \sqrt{9m^{44}}=\sqrt{(3)^2\times (m^7)^2} [Since 3² = 9 and (m⁷)² = m¹⁴]

                                   =3m^{7}
