a = 4, b = -21, c = -18
to keep from getting "mixed up", evaluate the discriminant first ...
b<sup>2</sup> - 4ac = (-21)<sup>2</sup> - 4(4)(-18) = 729
sqrt(729) = 27
x = (21 +/- 27)/8
x = -3/4, x = 6
since the discriminant is a perfect square, the original quadratic will factor ...
4x<sup>2</sup> - 21x - 18 = 0
(4x + 3)(x - 6) = 0
x = -3/4, x = 6

Answer:
The correct answer would be, No of bracelets the company must sell to break even would be 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Revenue is given by the function as:
R(x) = 20x
and Cost is given by the function as:
C(x) = 180 + 8x
Let the function P(x) represent the profit earned.
We know that Profit is equal to Revenue - Cost
i-e
Profit = Revenue - Cost
So,
P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
Now substituting the Revenue and cost values in the above equation.
P(x) = 20x - (180 + 8x)
P(x) = 20x -180 -8x
P(x) = 20x - 8x -180
P(x) = 12x - 180
Now if we want to find out the break even point, we would consider profit as Zero, 0. So substituting 0 in the above equation for Profit, we will get:
0 = 12x - 180
12x = 180
x = 180/12
x = 15
So the break even point will be 15 bracelets.
Whats the math you need help with?
Based on the given above, collection of books of Nathan and Jason can be translated into the following equations:
6J + 1/3N = 134
1/3 J + N = 31; J = Jasons and N=Nathan
Solving two equations with two unknowns simultaneously,
Jason = 21 books and Nathan = 24 books
