The function
is a parabola concave up, whose solutions are
from here, you can use the quadratic formula
to find that the solutions of the parabola are
So, the parabola is positive if (which wouldn't make sense in our case) or
So, if Tanya caters 25 meals she breaks even, and starting with the 26th meal she will begin to profit.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
Determine the roots
To get the root of the function, then f(b) must be 0;
i.e. f(b) = 0
So, the expression becomes
Add 75 to both sides
Take square roots of both sides
Reorder
Expand 75 as a product of 25 and 3
Split the expression
The options are not clear enough; however the roots of the equation are
