cousin Brady hires an advertising company to help boost their sales and revenue. the advertising company relaunches their product line and is able to derive the following quadratic equation for the profit function
profit=16tsquared +48t+100
assuming the profit is 0,solve the above equation to find the value of p
To solve the equation profit = 16t^2 + 48t + 100 when profit is 0, we substitute 0 for profit to get:
0 = 16t^2 + 48t + 100
We can simplify this equation by dividing both sides by 4:
0 = 4t^2 + 12t + 25
We can then use the quadratic formula to solve for t:
t = (-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a
where a = 4, b = 12, and c = 25.
Plugging in these values, we get:
t = (-12 ± sqrt(144 - 4(4)(25))) / 8
t = (-12 ± sqrt(-16)) / 8
Since the square root of a negative number is not a real number, we cannot solve for t. Therefore, we cannot solve for the value of profit, p, when profit is 0.
