Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the minimum amount of items, x, that need to be sold for the manufacturer to make a profit, we can use the quadratic formula

x = \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}; x=  \frac{-b-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

x= \frac{-700+\sqrt{700^{2}-4(a)(-10000) } }{2(1)}; x= \frac{-700-\sqrt{700^{2}-4(a)(-10000) } }{2(1)}

x= \frac{-700+\sqrt{530000} }{2}; x= \frac{-700-\sqrt{530000} }{2}

x=\frac{-700+100\sqrt{53} }{2}; x=\frac{-700-100\sqrt{53} }{2};

x=-350 + 50\sqrt53 = 14.005; x = -350 - 50\sqrt53 = -714.005

In context of the problem, we can only rely on the positive value, as the negative value would lead to a loss of profit.

(-714.005)^2+700(-714.005)-10000=-0.360

Furthermore, we must round to the nearest whole number, as you cannot make part of an item.

Lastly, if you were to plug in 14 into the equation for Profit, you would still have a negative number (i.e. a negative profit), thus requiring the manufacturer to make no less than 15 items to make a profit:

(14)^2+700(14)-10000=-4\\\\(15)^2+700(15)-10000=725

<em>There is no specific requirement in the question, but I'm assuming you need to compute the time needed for Alexis reach 1,000,000 Instagram followers</em>

Answer:

t= 462.82\ days

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Growth </u>

When the number of observed elements grows as the previous value multiplied by a constant ratio, we have exponential growth. The formula to model such situations is

\displaystyle f(x) = f_o(1 + r)^t

Where f_o is the initial value of f, 1 + r is the constant ratio, and t is the time expressed in half days (12 hours)

The initial value is 100 Instant followers, thus:

\displaystyle f(x) = 100(1.01)^t

We need to know when the number of followers will reach 1,000,000. Setting up the equation

\displaystyle 100(1.01)^t=1,000,000

Simplifying by 100

\displaystyle (1.01)^t=10,000

Taking logarithms

\displaystyle t\ log(1.01)=log\ 10,000

\displaystyle t\ log(1.01)=4

Solving for t

\displaystyle t=\frac{4}{log(1.01)}=925.63 periods of 12 hrs

t= 462.82\ days

in ABC the measure of angle A is 2x+3 the measure of angle B is 4x+2 the measure of angle C is 2x-1 what are the measures of the
Virty [35]


IN A triangle, sum of all angles = 180 degrees

2x + 3 + 4x+2 + 2x -1 = 180

8x +4  = 180

8x = 176

x = 176 /8 = 22 degrees

the angles are A = 2(22)+3 = 44+3 = 47 DEGREES

B = 4(22)+2 = 88 + 2 = 90 DEGREES

C = 2(22) -1 44-1 = 43 DEGREES
