Draw graphs of cost per item and revenue per item. In general, the first graph will start above the second but the second will have a steeper slope. As a result, the revenue per item may cross the cost graph and that is the break-even point.

What test is used to determine if a graph is a function?

Horizontal line test is used for the determination of a function,if the horizontal line passes through one point of the given graph then it is a function and if it passes through more than one point then it will not a function. * * * * * No! It is a vertical line test. Consider the graph of y = sin(x): a horizontal line line will cross it twice in every 360 degrees! Convince me that y = sin(x) is not a function.


Sketch a distance-time graph for a body starting from rest how will you determine the speed of a body from this graph?

It is not possible to sketch anything using this browser. The speed of a body cannot be determined from a distance-time graph. The slope of the graph is a measure of the radial velocity - that is the speed directly towards or directly away from the starting point. However, there is absolutely no information of any motion in a transverse direction. Since motion in this direction cannot be assumed to be 0, the distance-time graph cannot be used to determine speed.


A graph is not a function if the vertical line intersects the graph at more than point?

Not calculus, but correct. This is known as the vertical line test and is used to teach the basics of defining a function.


How can you tell whether a graph is a function or not?

A vertical line test can be used to determine whether a graph is a function or not. If a vertical line intersects the graph more than once, then the graph is not a function.


Can you have a vertical line on a displacement vs time graph?

Yes―sort of. If displacement increases or decreases suddenly in an infinitely small point in time or a time interval that is too small to graph, a vertical line is used.

What does breakeven point mean?

Breakeven Analysis is the process of categorizing costs of production between variable and fixed components and deriving the level of output at which the sum of these costs, referred to as total costs per unit become equal to sales revenue. The analysis helps to determine the 'Breakenev Point' from this point of equality of sales revenue with total costs. At the breakeven point, the production activity neither generates a profit nor a loss. Breakeven analysis is used in production management and Management Accounting.


What can be used to determine if a graph represents a function?

If the graph is a function, no line perpendicular to the X-axis can intersect the graph at more than one point.

How can a graph be used to determine how many solutions an equation has?

Count the number of many times the graph intersects the x-axis. Each crossing point is a root of the equation.


How is break-even useful in analyzing Cost-Volume-Profit relationships?

In manufacturing, breakeven is used to determine the exact point where the sales volume profits equals the costs to manufacture. This point is the --minumum-- number of items that must be manufactured and sold for the company to sustain operations (pay the bills). The profits from all items manufactured and sold after that add to the total equity of the company. To summarize, breakeven is simply used to determine the minimum volumes the business needs to make and sell (or buy and sell if a retail business) to be a viable business.

Yes.


How do you graph range and domain?

You do not graph range and domain: you can determine the range and domain of a graph. The domain is the set of all the x-values and the range is is the set of all the y-values that are used in the graph.
