Question 10 • FL-1200330-Algebra 2 CR

What do the zeroes mean in context?

Answer
A
If soccer balls are sold for $2.05 each, the store will make a daily profit of $14.61.
B
If soccer balls are sold for $14.61 each, the store will make a daily profit of $2.05.
C
If soccer balls are sold for $2.05 or $14.61 each, the store will maximize their daily profit.
D
If soccer balls are sold for $2.05 or $14.61 each, the store will break even but will not make a profit.

Explanation

The zeroes of a profit function are the prices where the profit equals $0. So if soccer balls sell for $2.05 or $14.61 each, the store breaks even—it neither makes a profit nor takes a loss. That matches the choice saying the store will break even at those prices.
