Answer:

100 packets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Cost = fixed cost + variable cost

Fixed cost = $500

Variable cost = $10

Sales price = $15

Let :

Number of packets = x

To break even :

fixed cost + variable cost = sales made

500 + 10x = 15x

500 = 15x - 10x

500 = 5x

x = 500 / 5

x = 100

100 packets

What is the remainder when 19x^2 + 15x + 12 is divided by x - 2?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

R = 118

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the polynomial with P and the divisor with D

P = 19x^2 + 15x + 12

D = x -2

Required

Determine the remainder

We start by equating the divisor to 0

i.e.

D = 0

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

Substitute 2 for x in the polynomial.

This gives remainder (R)

R = 19*2^2 + 15*2 + 12

R = 19*4 + 15*2 + 12

R = 76 + 30 + 12

R = 118

<em>Hence, the remainder is 118</em>

Find the value of x.
Cerrena [4.2K]
x^2 + (x + 3)^2 = (\sqrt{117})^2

x^2 + x^2 + 6x + 9 = 117

2x^2 + 6x -108 = 0

x^2 + 3x - 54 = 0

(x + 9)(x - 6) = 0

x + 9 = 0 ~~or~~ x - 6 = 0

x = -9 ~~ or~~ x = 6

Since the side of a triangle cannot have a negative length, we discard the solution x = -9.

Answer: x = 6
