The cost C of producing x units of a product is C = 15 + 26x. The revenue R for selling x units is . The profit P is the difference between revenue and cost.
(a) Perform the subtraction required to find the polynomial representing profit P.
(b) Determine the profit when 14 units are produced and sold.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The cost C of producing x units of a product is C = 15 + 26x. The revenue R for selling x units is . The profit P is the difference between revenue and cost.
(a) Perform the subtraction required to find the polynomial representing profit P.
(b) Determine the profit when 14 units are produced and sold.
--------
Revenue = x(Cost)
= 15x+26x^2
Profit = Revenue - Cost
= 26x^2+15x - (26x+15)
= 26x^2-10x-15
Profit(14)= 26(14)^2-10(14)-15
=$4941.00
