Question

a woodworker makes wooden checkerboards. identify any zeros of the function, and interpret what the zeros mean in terms of the situation

Answer 1

I have attached an image showing the graph of the function.

Answer:

Zeros are x = $15 and x = $70 and they are the prices at which the woodworker will neither loss nor gain money.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, the zeros of a function f(x) are defined as the values of x where f(x) = 0. That is the points where the graph curve touches the x-axis.

Now, from the attached graph, when we locate the point that the curve touches the x-axis, it's at x = 15 and at x = 70.

This means that f(x) = 0 at x = 15 and at x = 70.

Now, from the graph; f(x) is the profit function. So when f(x) = 0, it means there is zero profit which implies no gain and no loss.

Thus, we can conclude that the prices at which the woodworker will neither loss nor gain money is when the price is; x = $15 and x = $70
