Question 113532: Please help.
There are two parts to the problem
Part 1
The inventor of a new product believes that the cost of producing the product is given by the function
C(x) = 1.75x + 7000

How much does it cost to produce 2000 units of her invention?
Part 2
If the inventor charges $4 per unit, then her profit for producing and selling x units is given by the function P(x) = 2.25x - 7000

(b) What is her profit if she sells 5000 units?
(c) What is the break-even point for sales?

(b) $4250
(c) 3111 units
Thank you
