Answer:
The price is x = $2.779
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The revenue is 
The cost of production is 
Generally at break even point the cost of production is equal to the revenue
So

=> 
Using the quadratic formula to solve this equation we have that
x = $2.779
Factoring, you have
h(t) = -16(t^2 -2 -8) = -16(t -4)(t +2)
The ball hits the ground when h(t) = 0, so
0 = -16(t -4)(t +2)
t = 4 or -2
The positive solution is the one of interest.
It will take 4 seconds for the ball to hit the ground.
X^6= 3^12
(X^6) ^1/6. = (3^12)^1/6
X=9
