The daily expenses of the theater are related to the ticket price according to the rule E(x) = 1,250 30x.
Comment:: Not sure what you mean by (1250 30x).

a. Find a rule in standard polynomial form for the daily profit.
P(x) = revenue - expenses = R(x)-E(x)
----------------------------
b. If the ticket price is $8, what is the daily profit?
P(8) = R(8)-E(8)
