Question

The daily production of soda s for a manufacturing company is modeled by the function s= -p^2 +75p-1200, where pis the

amount of workers present at work. If the break-even point for soda manufacturing is where's=0, what is the least number of
workers the company must have present each day in order to break even?
A. 24 workers
B. 11 workers
C. 32 workers
D. 51 workers

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Put '0' in for 's' and solve :

0 = -p^2 + 75 p + 1200

Use Quadratic Formula with a = -1 b=75 c = -1200

to find p = ~ 24 OR 52 THE LEAST NUMBER WOULD BE 24
