Question 997182: The revenue for a business, as a function of units produced, x, is shown below by R(x). C(x) represents the cost of producing x units. Calculate the profit function and then determine how many units must be produced for the business to make a profit of $468.
R(x) = 9x The revenue function.
C(x) = 3x+144 The cost function

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Revenue must be 468 more than cost
9x-468=3x+144
6x=612
x=102 units
They generate $918
Cost is 144+(102)*3=144+306=$450
That is a $468 difference
