Profit = Income - cost
Profit = 10s - (28 + 3s) = 10s - 28 -3s = 7s - 28.
Profit = 0
0 = 7s - 28
7s = 28
7s = 28/7
s = 4. This is the breakeven point.
Carlota must sell more than 4 shirts to make a profit
Answer:
Minimum
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is a quadratic function meaning the the shape is a parabola. The sign of x^2 is + so the graph open upward. Thus the vertex is the minimum point on the graph.
Easily we can use formula y=(x-h)^2 +k
as equation of a parabola if vertex was (h,k):
Y=(x-1)^2 + 3
and maybe node (2,6) is incorrect for this vertex of a parabola!!!
Answer: He actually rode 2 miles per hour on his trip
Step-by-step explanation: Maybe unconventional, but express the time it took, then figure the speed.
Time = distance /speed t will represent time, s is the speed: t = 30/s Use the rime it would have taken at the higher speed to create an equation:
t-12 = 30/s+8 replace the y with the 30/s
30/s -12 = 30/s+8
(s)(30/s -12 ) = (s)(30/s+8 ) Cross multiply to cancel denominators
(s-8)(30 -12s) = (s-8)(30s/s+8 ) ==> 30s +240 -12s² -96s =30s Simplify:
(-1)(-12s² -96s +240 ) =0 ==> 12s² +96s -240 divide all by 12
s² + 8s -20 = 0 Factor and solve for s
(s +10)(s -2) =0 s-2=0 S= 2
Proof:
30/2 = 15 hours for original trip at 2mph,
increase speed by 8mph 2 + 8 = 10mph
30 miles at 10mph takes 3 hours; that is 12 hours less than his actual trip.
