Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To breakeven, the total cost of the company which is the sum of the fixed and variable cost will be equal to the total sales of the company such that the profit/loss is zero.

Let x be the number of screwdriver that must be produced daily to break even

Then

68 + 1 * x = 2.5 * x

68 + x = 2.5x

collect like terms

68 = 2.5x - x

1.5x = 68

Divide both sides by 1.5

x = 68/1.5

= 45.33

This would be approximated to 46 screws

Sail with the equation by completing the square x^2+8x=-3

maxonik [38]

Answer:

The solutions are $x=-4(+/-)\sqrt{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$x^{2} +8x=-3$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$x^{2} +8x+16=-3+16$

$x^{2} +8x+16=13$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$(x+4)^{2}=13$

square root both sides

$x+4=(+/-)\sqrt{13}$

$x=-4(+/-)\sqrt{13}$

A sailor is 30m above the water in the crow's nest on a sailboat. The sailor encounters an orca surface at an angle of depressio

Natali [406]

Given :

A sailor is 30 m above the water in the crow's nest on a sailboat.

The sailor encounters an orca surface at an angle of depression of 15 degrees.

The crows nest is 20 m horizontally from the bow (front) of the boat.

To Find :

How far in front of the boat is the orca.

Solution :

Let, distance of boat front from the crow's nest is x.

So,

$\dfrac{30}{20+x}=tan \ 15^{\circ}\\\\x=\dfrac{30}{tan \ 15^{\circ}}-20\\\\x=111.94-20\\\\x=91.94\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.
