even Definition and 664 Threads

The break-even point (BEP) in economics, business—and specifically cost accounting—is the point at which total cost and total revenue are equal, i.e. "even". There is no net loss or gain, and one has "broken even", though opportunity costs have been paid and capital has received the risk-adjusted, expected return. In short, all costs that must be paid are paid, and there is neither profit nor loss. The break-even analysis was developed by Karl Bücher and Johann Friedrich Schär.

    Is x^3 - x + 1 an Even, Odd, or Neither Function?

    Is the function x^3 - x + 1 even, odd, or neither? When I graphed this, it looked like it was symmetric about the origin, so I thought that it might be an odd function. Either that or it is neither?

    Why does logic have limits in understanding nature?

    The laws of nature reflect the intrinsic properties of everything which exists. Logic is the interpretation of those laws. By observing, defining and comparing the nature of that which we seek to understand, we derive knowledge which can be applied to familiar circumstances to predict outcomes...
