The next number in the sequence should be 333.111
Answer:
(a) P(x) = 300 x - 3600
(b) P(340) = $ 98400
(c) At least 12 items must be sold to avoid losing money.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part (a):
The Profit function is the difference between the revenue function (R(x)) and the Cost (C(x)) function:
P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
P(x) = 384 x - [84 x + 3600]
P(x) = 384 x - 84 x - 3600
P(x) = 300 x - 3600
Part (b):
The profit on 340 items is:
P(340) = 300 (340) - 3600
P(340) = 102000 - 3600
P(340) = $ 98400
Part (c):
To avoid losing money, the profit P(x) has to be larger or equal than zero. That is:
P(x)
0
300 x -3600
0
300 x
3600
x
3600/300

12
So at least 12 items must be sold to avoid losing money.
Answer:

It is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

If the top and the bottom are the same, (shown in the larger model), then the top and bottom in the smaller model should be the same, which gives me 9.

Good luck!
