A company models its net income, in thousands of dollars, with the function f(x) = 9x² – 54x – 144, where x is the number of units of its product sold. How many units of its product does the company need to sell in order for the net income to equal $0?

Respuesta :

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Income = 0

  so    0   = 9x^2 - 54x - 154  

             you can go straight to the Quadratic Formula to find the answer, or you can try factoring as follows ....

    divide both sides of the equation by 9 to get

           x^2 -6x -16   = 0  which easily factors to :

          (x -8)(x+2) = 0     <===== this shows x = 8   or -2(throw out)
