Question
Given the cost function $C(x)$ and the revenue function $R(x)$, find the number of units $x$ that must be sold to break even. See Example 6.$$C(x)=12 x+15,000 R(x)=32 x$$
Step 1
So, we set the cost function $C(x)$ equal to the revenue function $R(x)$ and solve for $x$. $$C(x) = R(x)$$ Show more…
