George has opened a new store and he is monitoring its success closely. He has found that this store's revenue each month can be modeled by r(x) = x^2 + 5x + 14 where x represents the number of months since the store opens the doors and r(x) is measured in hundreds of dollars. He has also found that his expenses each month can be modeled by c(x) = x^2 - 3x + 4 where x represents the number of months the store has been open and c(x) is measured in hundreds of dollars. What does (r - c)(3) mean about George's new store? The new store will have a profit of $3400 after its third month in business. The new store will sell 3400 items in its third month in business. The new store will sell 2400 items in its third month in business. The new store will have a profit of $2400 after its third month in business.

Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the profit function by subtracting the cost function from the revenue function: \(r(x) - c(x) = (x^2 + 5x + 14) - (x^2 - 3x + 4)\) Show more…

An artist makes jewelry from polished stones. The rent for her studio, Internet service, and phone come to $\$ 640$ per month. She also estimates that it costs $\$ 3.50$ in supplies to make one necklace. At art shows and online, she sells the necklaces for $\$ 25$ each. a. Write a linear cost function that represents the $\operatorname{cost} C(x)$ to produce $x$ necklaces during a one-month period. b. Write a linear revenue function to represent the revenue $R(x)$ for selling $x$ necklaces. c. Evaluate $(R-C)(x)$ and interpret its meaning in the context of this problem. d. Determine the profit if the artist sells 212 necklaces during a one-month period.

An automobile dealer uses TV advertising to promote car sales. On the basis of past records, the dealer arrived at the following data, where x is the number of ads placed monthly and y is the number of cars sold that month. Use the data to the right to answer parts (A) and (B). Number of Ads x 9 14 22 32 35 38 50 Number of cars f(x) 310 349 444 601 653 707 921 (A) Enter the data in a graphing calculator and find a cubic regression equation for the number of cars sold monthly as a function of the number of ads. f(x)=______ (Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression. Round to three decimal places as needed.) (B) How many ads should the dealer place each month to maximize the rate of change of sales with respect to the number of ads, and how many cars can the dealer expect to sell with this number of ads?

A television manufacturer makes rear-projection and plasma televisions. The profit per unit is $\$ 125$ for the rear-projection televisions and $\$ 200$ for the plasma televisions. a. Let $x=$ the number of rear-projection televisions manufactured in a month and let $y=$ the number of plasma televisions manufactured in a month. Write the objcctive function that modcls the total monthly profit. b. The manufacturer is bound by the following constraints: Equipment in the factory allows for making at most 450 rear-projection televisions in one month. Equipment in the factory allows for making at most 200 plasma televisions in one month. The cost to the manufacturer per unit is $\$ 600$ for the rear-projection televisions and $\$ 900$ for the plasma televisions. Total monthly costs cannot exceed $\$ 360,000$ . Write a system of three incqualities that models these constraints. c. Graph the system of inequalities in part (b). Use only the first quadrant and its boundary, because $x$ and $y$ must both be nonnegative. d. Evaluate the objective function for total monthly profit at each of the five vertices of the graphed region. [The vertices should occur at $(0,0),(0,200),(300,200),(450,100),$ and $(450,0) . ]$ e. Complete the missing portions of this statement: The telcvision manufacturer will makc the greatest profit by manutacturing ___________rear-projection televisions each month and __________ plasma televisions each month. The maximum monthly profit is $\$$___________
