Revenue = -o.1x^2 + 130x and the cost to produce x inkjet printers is given by Cost = 40x + 8000. Express the company's profit in terms of x.
-------------------------------------------------------
Profit = Revenue - Cost
Profit = -0.1x^2+130x - (40x+800)
= -0.1x^2+90x-800
----------------------------
Use this expression to find the profit from selling 400 inkjet printers.
P(400)=-0.1(400^2)+90(400)-800
P(400)= $19,200.00
