profit is the difference between revenue and cost. the revenue, in dollars, of a company that manufactures cell phones can be modeled by the polynomial 2x2 55x 10. the cost, in dollars, of producing the cell phones can be modeled by 2x2 – 15x – 40. the variable x represents the number of cell phones sold. what expression represents the profit, and what is the profit if 240 cell phones are sold?
Given that the equation of the revenue is R=2x2+55x+10 and the equation of the cost is C=2x2 – 15x – 40, you will get the profit by subtracting the revenue from the cost: R-C=P. Therefore, P=(2x2+55x+10)-(2x2 – 15x – 40). You will get P=70x+50 where x is is the number of cellphones sold. If 240 cellphones are sold, then the profit is 16850 dollars.
