Question

The answers in blank boxes are either 1. The x intercept 2.The P intercept 3. The X coordinate of the the vertex4. The P coordinate of the vertex

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The startup cost of the company is the value of P when x equals zero.

Which is the P intercept on the graph.

$\text{The P intercept}$

b) The number of items they have to sell to break even is the value of x when the profit P equals zero.

This is the x-intercept on the graph.

$\text{The x intercept}$

c) The number of products they need to sell to maximize profit is the value of x at the maximum point on the graph.

This is the x coordinate of the vertex

$\text{ The x coordinate of the vertex}$

Explanation:

Given the revenue equation of the product;

$P(x)=-2x^2+950x-14000$

Graphing the equation.

a) The startup cost of the company is the value of P when x equals zero.

Which is the P intercept on the graph.

$\text{The P intercept}$

b) The number of items they have to sell to break even is the value of x when the profit P equals zero.

This is the x-intercept on the graph.

$\text{The x intercept}$

c) The number of products they need to sell to maximize profit is the value of x at the maximum point on the graph.

This is the x coordinate of the vertex

$\text{ The x coordinate of the vertex}$
