do each of the following. (a) Express the cost $C$ as a function of $x,$ where $x$ represents the number of items as described. (b) Express the revenue $R$ as a function of $x .$ (c) Determine analytically the value of $x$ for which revenue equals cost. (d) Graph $y_{1}=C(x)$ and $y_{2}=R(x)$ on the same $x y$ -axes and interpret the graphs. Baking and Selling Cakes A baker makes cakes and sells them at county fairs. Her initial cost for the Pointe Coupee parish fair was $\$ 40.00 .$ She figures that each cake costs $\$ 2.50$ to make, and she charges $\$ 6.50$ per cake. Let $x$ represent the number of cakes sold. (Assume that there were no cakes left over.)

[T] A family bakery makes cupcakes and sells them at local outdoor festivals. For a music festival, there is a fixed cost of $\$ 125$ to set up a cupcake stand. The owner estimates that it costs $\$ 0.75$ to make each cupcake. The owner is interested in determining the total cost $C$ as a function of number of cupcakes made. a. Find a linear function that relates cost $C$ to $x,$ the number of cupcakes made. b. Find the cost to bake 160 cupcakes. c. If the owner sells the cupcakes for $\$ 1.50$ apiece, how many cupcakes does she need to sell to start making profit? (Hint: Use the INTERSECTION function on a calculator to find this number.)
