Using the profit function, it is found that:
a) She earns $36 after 25 years.
b) The function was shifted right 4 units and up 1 units.
<h3>What is the profit function?</h3>
The profit, in x years after 2015, is given by:
![p(x) = 12\sqrt[3]{x + 2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=p%28x%29%20%3D%2012%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%20%2B%202%7D)
Item a:
She earns $36 after x years, considering x for which p(x) = 36, hence:
![p(x) = 12\sqrt[3]{x + 2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=p%28x%29%20%3D%2012%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%20%2B%202%7D)
![36 = 12\sqrt[3]{x + 2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=36%20%3D%2012%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%20%2B%202%7D)
![\sqrt[3]{x + 2} = 3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%20%2B%202%7D%20%3D%203)
![(\sqrt[3]{x + 2})^3 = 3^3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%20%2B%202%7D%29%5E3%20%3D%203%5E3)


She earns $36 after 25 years.
Item b:
The new function is:
![h(x) = 12\sqrt[3]{x - 2} + 1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=h%28x%29%20%3D%2012%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%20-%202%7D%20%2B%201)
At the domain, we have that
, that is,
, hence it was shifted right 4 units.
At the range, we have that
, hence it was shifted up 1 unit.

I think it is 36 because you would have to multiply the numbers.

Answer:
y = -5/3 x + 40
Step-by-step explanation:
The general form is y = ax + b, where a is the slope and b is the y intercept.
So immediately you can see that b must be 40, since the line crosses the y axis at 40.
The slope can be calculated by finding two "nice" points on the line that are also grid lines.
How about (0,40) and (6, 30).
Then, calculate the slope by dividing the y difference by the x difference:
(30-40)/(6-0) = -10/6 = -5/3
So C must be the answer.
