Select the correct answer from the drop-down menu. A company sells its products to distributors and boxes of 10 units each. it's profits can be modeled by this equation, where p is the profit after selling n boxes.

p = -n² + 300n + 100,000

Use this equation to complete the statement.

The company breaks even, meaning the profits are only $0, when it sells boxes.

Options for Blank:

A: 200 or 500

B: 500

C: 150

D: 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the profit made by a company modeled by the function

p = -n² + 300n + 100,000

The company breaks even when p = 0

To get the number of boxes sold when the company breaks even, we will substitute p = 0 into the equation.

0 = -n² + 300n + 100,000

multiply through by -1

0 = n² - 300n - 100,000

n² - 300n - 100,000 = 0

(n² - 500n) + (200n - 100,000) = 0

n(n-500)+200(n-500) = 0

(n+200)(n-500) = 0

n+200 = 0 and n-500 = 0

n = -200 and n = 500

Since n cannot be negative

Hence n = 500

This means that the company breaks even when it sells 500 boxes

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

    200 words per minute

felicia:

260 words per minute

200< 260 < 265

connie < felicia < stew
