Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Breakeven point is the point of balance where their is neither a loss or a profit. At the breakeven point, the revenue gotten from the sell of goods is equal to the cost of production of the goods, hence the profit is zero.

Given the profit function:

P=-2b² + 14b - 20

At breakeven P = 0, hence:

0 = -2b² + 14b - 20

-2b² + 14b - 20 = 0

-2b² + 10b + 4b - 20 = 0

-2b (b - 5) + 4(b - 5) = 0

(b - 5)(-2b + 4) = 0

b - 5 = 0; or -2b + 4 = 0

b = 5; or b = 2

Since b is in thousands, hence the company breaks even when the number of skateboards produced is either 2000 or 5000

What is the slope of find the slope of the line described by 4x + 5y = 60?
JulsSmile [24]
1) isolate y

4x + 5y = 60
-4x -4x
_____________
5y = -4x + 60

2) make y so that is is alone with no numbers beside it

5y = -4x + 60
__________
5

y = -4/5x + 60

3) the slope is ALWAYS the number to the left of x, even if it's a fraction. It's it a decimal, convert to a fraction. The last number (in this case is 60) is where the slope crosses the y-axis on the coordinate plane.

The slope is -4/5x + 60
