Question 1019920: a company produces x units of a product per month, where C(x) represents the total cost and R(x) represents the total revenue for the month. the functions are modeled by C(x)=300x+250 and R(x)=-0.5x^2+800x-100. the profit is the difference between revenue and cost where P(x)=R(x)-C(x). What is the total profit P(x), for the month? Answer by LinnW(1048) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! P(x)=R(x)-C(x)
Substituting -0.5x^2+800x-100 for R(x) and
300x+250 for C(x)
P(x) = -0.5x^2+800x-100 - ( 300x+250 )
P(x) = -0.5x^2+800x-100 -300x-250
P(x) = -0.5x^2+800x -300x -100 -250
P(x) = -0.5x^2+500x-350
