D. -4/3

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

9x2+24x+20=4

Step 1: Subtract 4 from both sides.

9x2+24x+20−4=4−4

9x2+24x+16=0

Step 2: Factor left side of equation.

(3x+4)(3x+4)=0

Step 3: Set factors equal to 0.

3x+4=0 or 3x+4=0

x= −4 /3

Hope This helps

The total cost (in dollars) for a company to manufacture and sell x items per week is C = 40 x + 640 , whereas the revenue broug

ikadub [295]

Answer:

The company must sell 60 or 70 items to obtain a weekly profit of 200.

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost of a given task, therefore:

$\text{profit} = R - C\\\text{profit} = 66*x - 0.2*x^2 - (40*x + 640)\\\text{profit} = 66*x - 0.2*x^2 - 40*x - 640\\\text{profit} = - 0.2*x^2 + 26*x - 640$

To have a profit of 200, we need to sell:

$-0.2*x^2 + 26*x - 640 = 200\\-0.2*x^2 + 26*x -840 = 0\text{ } *\frac{-1}{0.2}\\x^2 -130 + -4200 = 0\\x_{1,2} = \frac{-(-130) \pm \sqrt{(-130)^2 - 4*1*(-4200)}}{2*1}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{130 \pm \sqrt{16900 + 16800}}{2}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{130 \pm \sqrt{100}}{2}\\x_{1,2} = \frac{130 \pm 10}{2}\\x_{1} = \frac{130 + 10}{2} = \frac{140}{2} = 70\\ x_{2} = \frac{130 - 10}{2} = \frac{120}{2} = 60$

The company must sell 60 or 70 items to obtain a weekly profit of 200.
