The manufacturer of a new product developed the following expression to predict the monthly profit, in thousands of dollars, from sales of the productwhen it is sold at a unit price of x dollars.-0.5x^2 + 22x - 224what is represented by the zero(s) of the expression? a. the profit when the unit price is equal to 0b. the unit price(s) when the profit is equal to 0c. the profit when the unit price is greatestd. the unit price(s) when profit is greatest

What can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before solving? x – + 2x = + x 2 6 10 12

Abucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. the paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6(t), where t represents time in minutes and p represents how far the paint is spreading. the flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. the area of the pattern can be expressed as a(p) = 3.14(p)^2 part a: find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or a[p(t)]. show your work. part b: how large is the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes? you may use 3.14 to approximate pi in this problem.
