For a certain company, the cost for producing x items is 45x+300 and the revenue for selling x items is 85x-0.5x^2

Question

Part A

Set up an expression for the profit from producing and selling x items. We assume that the company sells all of the items that it produces. ( Hint it is a quadratic polynomial)

Part B

Find two values of x that will create a profit of $300.

Part C

Is it possible for the company to make a profit of $15,000?

Answer 1

profit = revenue - cost

profict = 85x - 0.5x² - (45x + 300)

300 = 85x - 0.5x² - (45x + 300)

Can you solve for x and answer?

15000 = 85x - 0.5x² - (45x + 300)

Can you solve for x and answer?
