Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = 8x + 5

BC = 5x² - 16

5x² -  16 = 8x + 5

5x² - 8x - 21 = 0

Quadratic formula

x = [8 ± √(8² – 4·5(-21))] / [2·5]

 = [8 ± √484] / 10

 = [8 ± 22] /10

 = -1.4, 3

-1.4 is an extraneous solution.

x = 3

AB = 8x+5 = 29

AC = 58

The profitability, P, of a popular restaurant franchise can be modeled by the function P (t) = t4 – 10t3 + 28t2 – 24t, where t i
vekshin1

In this question, the profit of the restaurant after t months is given by a polynomial function. To find when it begins to show a profit, we find the numerical values of the function for t, and it shows a profit when t > 0

Profit after t months:

P(t) = t^4 - 10t^3 + 28t^2 - 24t

0 months:

This is P(0). So

P(0) = 0^4 - 10*0^3 + 28*0^2 - 24*0 = 0

1 month:

This is P(1). So

P(1) = 1^4 - 10*1^3 + 28*1^2 - 24*1 = -5

2 months:

This is P(2). So

P(2) = 2^4 - 10*2^3 + 28*2^2 - 24*2 = 0

3 months:

This is P(3). So

P(3) = 3^4 - 10*3^3 + 28*3^2 - 24*3 = -9

4 months:

This is P(4). So

P(4) = 4^4 - 10*4^3 + 28*4^2 - 24*4 = -32

5 months:

This is P(5). So

P(5) = 5^4 - 10*5^3 + 28*5^2 - 24*5 = -45

6 months:

This is P(6). So

P(6) = 6^4 - 10*6^3 + 28*6^2 - 24*6 = 0

7 months:

This is `P(7). So

P(7) = 7^4 - 10*7^3 + 28*7^2 - 24*7 = 175

After 7 months it shows profit, so it starts showing profit on the 6th month, and thus, the correct answer is given by option D.

Find a common denominator for 2,4,8. Which is 8. Change the fractions to new ones.

1) 19 4/8= 156/8 Then add the second. 2) 7 5/8= 61/8 one and the third
3) 5 6/8= 46/8 one. Which is

15/8. Then, subtract your answer and the first one. You get 141. Simplify. 17 5/8
