Answer:
d = -1/3, 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract the constant on the left, take the square root, and solve from there.
(6d +1)^2 + 12 = 13 . . . . given
(6d +1)^2 = 1 . . . . . . . . . .subtract 12
6d +1 = ±√1 . . . . . . . . . . take the square root
6d = -1 ±1 . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 1
d = (-1 ±1)/6 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6
d = -1/3, 0

Using a graphing calculator, it is often convenient to write the function so the solutions are at x-intercepts. Here, we can do that by subtracting 13 from both sides:
f(x) = (6x+1)^ +12 -13
We want to solve this for f(x)=0. The solutions are -1/3 and 0, as above.
We know that:
Profit = Revenue - Cost
Let us say x number of candies are made per week.
Finding Cost per week:
Cost of making 1 bar = 0.15
Cost of making x bars = 0.15x
Fixed rate of making candies per week = 600
Total cost of making x candies per week = 600 + 0.15x
Now let us find Revenue:
Selling price of each bar = 1.50
Selling price of x bars = 1.50x
Now we have to find profit,
Profit = Revenue - Cost
In order to have profit Revenue - Cost >0
So plugging values of revenue and cost to get number of candies,
x>444.44
Rounding off
x>444
Answer: The company must sell greater than 444 candies in order to make profit.
