Question

28 POINTS! A company's profit (in millions of dollars) can be represented by x^2-6x+12, where x is the number of years since the company started. When did the company have a profit of $4 million?

I got two years, but I wanted to check this against something. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

hope this helps you :)..

Answer 2

Yes, $4 million is correct, great job!

To make sure you are correct, just plug in 2 for every time x appears.

2^2-6(2)+12
4-12+12
4-0 =
4

Yep, since this is represented in millions of dollars, 2 years makes the result $4 million, which is the goal.

Great work! Let me know if you need anything else! :)
