The revenue, in dollars, of a company that manufactures televisions can be modeled by the polynomial 3x²+180x . The cost, in dollars of producing the televisions can be modeled by 3x² - 160x +300. The variable x is the number of televisions sold. If 150 televisions are sold, what is the profit?

Respuesta :

We use the profit concept, and doing this, it is found that if 150 televisions are sold, the profit is $50,700.

-------------------------------------------

Profit is given by revenue subtracted by cost.

In this question:

  • Revenue: [tex]R(x) = 3x^2 + 180x[/tex]
  • Cost: [tex]C(x) = 3x^2 - 160x + 300[/tex]

Thus, the profit of selling x televisions is:

[tex]P(x) = R(x) - C(x)[/tex]

[tex]P(x) = 3x^2 + 180x - (3x^2 - 160x + 300)[/tex]

[tex]P(x) = 3x^2 + 180x - 3x^2 + 160x - 300[/tex]

[tex]P(x) = 340x - 300[/tex]

-------------------------------------------

For 150 televisions, we have P(150), so:

[tex]P(150) = 340(150) - 300 = 50700[/tex]

If 150 televisions are sold, the profit is $50,700.
