Answer:

The profit equation would be: Profit = 10t - 425. To break even, 43 tickets must be sold, rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tickets = 10 * t, or $10 dollars per ticket

Prize = $425

Profit = (10 * t) - 425

Break-even is when the Function value would be Zero. This can be found by dividing the dollar amount by 10 to get 42.5 tickets or 43 tickets. After 43 tickets sold, the rest is profit.

The equation would be:

Profit = 10t - 425

A negative value would represent a net loss.

Find the difference quotient of f(x)=5x+4
Aleonysh [2.5K]
The differnce quotient is basically taking the derivitive (result will be f'(x)=5, but anyway)

here is the disffernce quotient
lim_{h\rightarrow0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}

so
for your equation
lim_{h\rightarrow0}\frac{(5(x+h)+4)-(5x+4)}{h}
lim_{h\rightarrow0}\frac{5x+5h+4-5x-4}{h}
lim_{h\rightarrow0}\frac{5h}{h}
h's cancel and you are left with 5
the differnce quotient is 5
