The roots of the quadratic function describing the relationship between number of products produced and overall profit margin are =0 and 26. The vertex is (13,−50).The vertex is a minimum at (13,−50). The company actually loses money on their first few products as it costs them more to make them, but once they hit _ items they break even again. The worst case scenario is that they produce _ items, as they will have a profit of _ dollars. The first root tells us that the profit will be 0 when 0 products are sold.

a4 - 3a2 - 1

step-by-step explanation:

step   1   :

equation at the end of step   1   :

  ((a4) -   3a2) -   1

step   2   :

trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     factoring   a4-3a2-1  

the first term is,   a4   its coefficient is   1 .

the middle term is,   -3a2   its coefficient is   -3 .

the last term, "the constant", is   -1  

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 375 miles

step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
