Question 13 • 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 selling prices where profit equals zero. Here, those prices are $2.05 and $14.61, so the store breaks even at either price rather than making a profit. Therefore, choice D is correct.
