A medical insurance company offers two​ prescription-drug insurance plans. With plan​ 1, James would pay the first ​$150 of his

prescription costs and 50​% of all costs after that. With plan​ 2, James would pay the first ​$280 of​ costs, but only ​20% of the rest. For what amount of prescription costs will plan 2 save James​ money? (Assume that his prescription costs exceed ​$280​.) mostly need help on how to do the problem

Answer:

when expenses are greater than $433.33

Step-by-step explanation:

set up equations for each plan

let 'x' = prescription costs

Plan 1:  y = 150 + .5x

Plan 2:  y = 280 + .2x

150 + .5x = 280 + .2x

.5x = 130 + .2x

.3x = 130

x = 433.33

i checked my answer by graphing each equation and $433.33 is the break-even point where each plan would have the same costs but, after that, the expenses for Plan B are less

Factor the polynomial function over the complex numbers. f(x)=x^4-x^3-2x−4 Enter your answer in the box. f(x) = The answer is: (
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Factors: (x+i\sqrt2)(x-i\sqrt2)(x+1)(x-2)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a polynomial:

f(x)=x^4-x^3-2x-4

We have to factor the given polynomial into its complex factors.

The factorization can be done as follows:

f(x)=x^4-x^3-2x-4 = 0\\x^4-x^3-2x-4 = 0\\x^4-4-x^3-2x=0\\\text{Identity: }a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)\\(x^4-4)-(x^3+2x) = 0\\(x^2+2)(x^2-2)-x(x^2+2) = 0\\(x^2+2)(x^2-2-x) = 0\\(x^2+2)(x^2-x-2) = 0\\(x^2+2)(x^2-2x-+x-2) = 0\\(x^2+2)((x(x-2)+1(x-2))=0\\(x^2+2)(x+1)(x-2)=0\\\text{Identity: }a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)\\(x^2-(\sqrt{-2})^2)(x+1)(x-2)=0\\(x+i\sqrt2)(x-i\sqrt2)(x+1)(x-2)=0
