Question 1199696: For a certain company, the cost for producing x items is 45x+300 and the revenue for selling x items is 85x−0.5x2.
The profit that the company makes is how much it takes in (revenue) minus how much it spends (cost). In economic models, one typically assumes that a company wants to maximize its profit, or at least wants to make a profit!
Part a: Set up an expression for the profit from producing and selling x items. We assume that the company sells all the items that it produces. (Hint: it is a quadratic polynomial.)
Part b: Find two values of x that will create a profit of $50.
x=
Part c: Is it possible for the company to make a profit of $2,500?

***I understand that Prfit = Revenue-Cost. And I know that I need to set up the equation as such
(85x-0.5x^2) -(45x+300)
Then I need to work my like terms together. so I will subtract the 85x from the left side as well as the right??? So it would be like this? This is where the confusion starts...
-0.5x^2 -40x + 300
HELP!!!

Question 1199734: A basketball shot is taken from a horizontal distance of 5 m from the hoop.
The height of the ball can be modelled by
the relation h = - 7.3t² + 8.25t + 2.1,
where h is the height, in metres, and t is the time, in seconds, since the ball was released.
a) From what height was the ball released?
b) What was the maximum height reached by the ball?
c) If the ball reached the hoop in 1 s, what was the height of the hoop?
