2. A company manufactures baseball bats. The fixed expenses are $58,780 and the variable expenses are $28 per baseball bat produced. How many bats did they produce if their expenses total $406,960?

12,435 bats

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to figure out how many bats were produced.

First let's write the equation. Cost is $28 for each bat, and we start with fixed expenses of $58,780

y=28x + 58780

We are given y, total expenses at 406,960

so 406,960 = 28x + 58780

subtract 58780 from both sides

406,960 - 58,780 = 28x

348,180 = 28x

divide both sides by 28

12,435 = x

This means they produced 12,435 bats.

(-1,0) and (4,0) are x-intercepts.

step-by-step explanation:

x-intercepts are all points on the x-axis.

points (-1,0) and (4,0) are both x -intercepts.

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
