the amount of item that was sold (in thousands).
a. What is the greatest common monomial factor of 182 + 12?
b. Write in factored form.
c. Find the profit if = 2 and if = 3.

Answer 1

Hello,

a. The greatest common monomial factor of 182 + 12 is 2.
b. In factored form, it can be written as 2(91 + 6).
c. If the amount sold (in thousands) is 2, the profit would be 2(91 + 6) = 194 thousand.
If the amount sold is 3, the profit would be 3(91 + 6) = 291 thousand.
