Answer:
J 1
--------
x^2 -x
Step-by-step explanation:
x+1
----------
x^3-x
Factor out an x in the denominator
x+1
----------
x(x^2-1)
We can factor the terms in the parentheses because it is a difference of squares
x+1
----------
x(x-1) (x+1)
Canceling the x+1 terms
1
----------
x(x-1)
Distribute in the denominator
1
--------
x^2 -x
<span>1. </span><span>4x –y = 8, the point (-4, 3)
Let’s say y = 0
=> 4x – 8
=> 4x / 4 = 8 /4
=> x = 2
So the point is (2 , 0).
Now, we have 2 forms, the (2,0) and the (-4, 3)
=> (y2 – y1)(x2 – x1) = m
=> m = (0 - 3)(2-(-4))
=> m = (0 - 3)(2+4)
=> m = (-3)(6)
=> m = -1/2
Thus,
y = -1/2x + a
=> 0 = -1 + a so a = 1
y = -x/2 + 1</span>
Using a graphing calculator you can find that the maximum is 1038, so the profit starts to decline at the t value for <span>1038</span>, which is 31
