Answer:
849 items.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the profit C (in thousands of dollars) for x thousands of items related as
As the profit is $14,000 for producing 2000 items, so
C= 14 thousand dollars and
x= 2 thousand items.
Putting C= 14 in the equation ( we have),
Now, x=2 is one of the solutions to the equation (ii), so (x-2) is a factor of the equation (ii), we have
We have the given solution for x-2=0, so sloving -5x^2-4x+7=0 for other solutions.
As the number of items cant be negative, so x= 0.849 thousand is the other number of items.
Hence, the other number of items for the same profit is 849 items.
