Answer:

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First we will solve the radical equation</u> (which I guess was problem 1),

Let's start by simplifying it:

3\sqrt{6-x}+4=-8\\ 3\sqrt{6-x}=-8-4\\ 3\sqrt{6-x}=-12\\\sqrt{6-x}=-4

Now we will solve the equation by squaring both sides of the equation:

\sqrt{6-x} =-4\\6-x=-4^{2} \\6-x=16\\-x=16-6\\-x=10\\x=-10

So the calculation for x was that x = -10

However, this does not produce a solution to the equation: When we plug this value into the radical equation we get:

3\sqrt{6-x} +4= -8\\3\sqrt{6-(-10)} +4=-8\\3\sqrt{16}+4 = -8\\ 3(4)+4 = -8\\12 + 4 = -8

This happens because <u>when we first squared both sides of the equation in the first part of the problem we missed one value for x </u>(remember that all roots have 2 answers, a positive one and a negative one) while squares are always positive.

When we squared the root, we missed one value for x and that is why the calculation does not produce a solution to the equation.

A company that teaches self-improvement seminars is holding one of its seminars in Middletown. The company pays a flat fee of $1
Nutka1998 [239]

Answers:

To reach the breakeven point, how many attendees will that take?  <u>   117   </u>

What will be the company's total expenses and revenues?  <u>    $1755  for each   </u>

=============================================================

Explanation:

x = number of attendees

C(x) = cost function for the company

C(x) = 14x+117

This is because the company pays $14 per person, so x of them accounts for 14x dollars. Then we add on the flat fee of $117 to get 14x+117 dollars overall.

In contrast, the revenue is

R(x) = 15x

because each attendee brings in $15 for the company

The breakeven point is when the cost and revenue are the same. This produces a profit of $0.

R(x) = C(x)

15x = 14x+117

15x-14x = 117

x = 117

If 117 people attend the seminar, then the company breaks even.

To check this, we'll compute the cost and revenue

C(x) = 14x+117

C(117) = 14*117+117

C(117) = 1755

R(x) = 15x

R(117) = 15*117

R(117) =  1755

The cost and revenue is $1755 for each. Because we get the same value, this confirms the correct x value.

Since 117 people is the breakeven point, the company should aim for an attendee count above this, so they can get a positive profit. At some point, there is a max capacity so x can't go up forever.
