I believe the answer should b the second option :)
For this case what we must do is find a quadratic function that is already factored.
This is because in the factored quadratic equations, it is easier to observe the zeros of the function.
In this case, the zeros of the function represent the time at which the company did not make any profit.
We have the following equation:
p (t) = 40 (t - 3) (t + 2) (t - 5) (t + 3)
We observed that there was no gain in:
t = 3
t = 5
The other roots are discarded because they are negative
Answer:
a.p (t) = 40 (t - 3) (t + 2) (t - 5) (t + 3)
-- They're losing employees . . . so you know that the line will slope down, and
its slope is negative;
-- They're losing employees at a steady rate . . . so you know that the slope is
the same everywhere on the line; this tells you that the graph is a straight line.
I can see the function right now, but I'll show you how to go through the steps to
find the function. I need to point out that these are steps that you've gone through
many times, but now that the subject pops up in a real-world situation, suddenly
you're running around in circles with your hair on fire screaming "What do I do ?
Somebody give me the answer !".
Just take a look at what has already been handed to you:
0 months . . . 65 employees
1 month . . . . 62 employees
2 months . . . 59 employees
You know three points on the line !
(0, 65) , (1, 62) , and (2, 59) .
For the first point, 'x' happens to be zero, so immediately
you have your y-intercept ! ' b ' = 65 .
You can use any two of the points to find the slope of the line.
You will calculate that the slope is negative-3 . . . which you
might have realized as you read the story, looked at the numbers,
and saw that they are <u>firing 3 employees per month</u>.
("Losing" them doesn't quite capture the true spirit of what is happening.)
So your function ... call it ' W(n) ' . . . Workforce after 'n' months . . .
is <em>W(n) = 65 - 3n</em> .
It would be Adjacent/hypotenus which is 36/39 and when simplified the answer is 12/13

Brainliest would be cool, hope this helped
