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

Illusion [34]

Answer:

(0.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

the y intercept is determined by wherever x = 0

the ordered pair (0,6) has the x value equaling 0

therefore (0,6) represents the y-intercept

If a child's knowledge of the alphabet is limited to the letters a, b, c, i, and e, and if the child writes two letters at rando
Savatey [412]
The formula for probability is # of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. 

So we know that there are a total of 5 letters. The child writes two letters, so we will have x/5 * x/5. Now, it is asking, what is the probability that they are both vowels.

We can see that a, i, and e are vowels, so the probability if the child were to write one letter would be 3/5. Since he is writing 2, you can multiply 3/5 * 3/5, which would give you your answer, 9/25. Therefore the probability that both letters are vowels is 9/25.

Hope this helps! Please rate, leave a thanks, and mark a brainliest answer. (Not necessarily mine). Thanks, it really helps! :D
