\

The sales in thousands of dollars that a store can make in one month is \"\"

\

\

The equation is \"\".

\

\

Where \"\"No of days after the first day of the month.

\

\"\".

\

Substiute \"\" in the equation \"\".

\

\

\"\"

\

\

The equation can be written as \"\".

\

Consider \"\".

\

Identify Possible Rational Zeros:

\

Usually it is not practical to test all possible zeros of a polynomial function using only synthetic substitution. The Rational Zero Theorem can be used for finding the some possible zeros to test.

\

\

Because the leading coefficient is \"\", the possible rational zeros are the intezer factors of the constant term \"\".

\

Therefore, the possible rational zeros of \"\" are \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Consider \"\".

\

Perform the synthetic substitution method by testing \"\" and \"\".

\

\"\"

\

By using synthetic substitution, it can be determined that \"\" is a rational zero.

\

The depressed polynomial is \"\".

\

Therefore, \"\" is a factor of \"\".

\

The obtained depressed polynomial \"\" has no real zeros.

\

Therefore, the zero is \"\".

\

Thus, the store will make 16000 dollars in \"\" days.
