Hope this helps! I can resubmit if my hand writing is too bad.
This is the concept of algebra, at breakeven point there are no profits made. Hence, given the profit function
P(x)=15x-6000
at breakeven point the number of units sold will be:
P(x)=0
thus:
0=15x-6000
15x=6000
x=400
the number of units sold at breakeven will be 400 units.
The amount at breakeven wil be:
number of units x price of each unit
=400x20
=$ 8000
The results found are true breakeven point because at these points the company will not be generating any profits because the amount of revenue generated will be equal to the amount of expenses. This means that the difference between revenue and cost will be zero, therefor it satisfies the breakeven point rationale.
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write polynomial
4x⁵ - 16x² + 13x⁸
Step 2: Rearrange
13x⁸ + 4x⁵ - 16x²
The degree of a polynomial is the highest power. In this case, our degree would be 8 because of the x⁸ term being the largest exponent.
Since this can’t be factored easily, you have to use synthetic division. This makes the answer x+4+(-1/x+5)
