Suppose a publishing company estimates that its monthly cost is C(x) = 600{x^2} + 300xC(x)=600x 2 +300x and its monthly revenue is R(x) = - 0.4{x^3} + 700{x^2} - 600x + 500R(x)=−0.4x 3 +700x 2 −600x+500, where x is in thousands of books sold. The profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost. What is the profit function, P(x)?

the answer is A,

P(x) = -0.4x³+100x²-900x+500

Step-by-step explanation:

monthly cost:

monthly revenue:

profit function:

i) remove the first bracket

ii) there is a negative sign, '-' in front of the second bracket. so, change the sign of each term of the expression inside the bracket

iii) collect like terms

iv) simply the like terms

step-by-step explanation:

5×5×5+2(8)÷2(2)+3(3)

15+16÷4+9

31÷13

do 31÷13 and u will get ur answer

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
