A company estimates its total profit to be modeled by the function p(x) = x3 – 4x2 – 1, where p is in hundreds of dollars and x is the number of years elapsed since the start-up year. Do you expect that the company will break even?

the aswere is the one with all 8's and the second one is with the 10,8 and 6

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
