(a) Find profit P(x)=R(x)C(x)P(x)=R(x)-C(x).

(c) Explain P(25)P(25).

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The revenue function is R(x)=1.9x+323xR(x)=-1.9 x^{}+323 x . The cost function is C(x)=0.09x3x+75x+600C(x)=0.09 x^{3}- x^{}+75 x+600
3. The profit function is defined as (x)=R(x)C(x)(x)=R(x)-C(x)4. The value of xx is in hundreds of cell phones sold

STEP 2

We first need to find the profit function, (x)(x). This is done by subtracting the cost function C(x)C(x) from the revenue function R(x)R(x).
(x)=R(x)C(x)(x) = R(x) - C(x)

STEP 3

Substitute the given functions into the equation.
(x)=(1.9x2+323x)(0.09x32x2+75x+600)(x) = (-1.9 x^{2}+323 x) - (0.09 x^{3}-2 x^{2}+75 x+600)

STEP 4

istribute the minus sign to all the terms in the parentheses.
(x)=1.9x2+323x0.09x3+2x275x600(x) = -1.9 x^{2}+323 x -0.09 x^{3}+2 x^{2}-75 x-600

STEP 5

Rearrange the terms in descending order of power.
(x)=0.09x3+0.1x2+248x600(x) = -0.09 x^{3}+0.1 x^{2}+248 x-600This is the profit function.

STEP 6

To find the profit when x=25x=25 hundred cell phones are sold, substitute x=25x=25 into the profit function.
(25)=0.09(25)3+0.1(25)2+248(25)600(25) = -0.09 (25)^{3}+0.1 (25)^{2}+248 (25)-600

STEP 7

Calculate the value of (25)(25).
(25)=0.09(15625)+0.1(625)+248(25)600(25) = -0.09 (15625)+0.1 (625)+248 (25)-600

STEP 8

Continue the calculation.
(25)=1406.25+62.5+6200600(25) = -1406.25+62.5+6200-600

STEP 9

Calculate the final value of (25)(25).
(25)=$4256.25(25) = \$4256.25This is the profit when x=25x=25 hundred cell phones are sold.

STEP 10

To interpret (25)(25), we note that (25)(25) is the profit when x=25x=25 hundred cell phones are sold. This means that when2500 cell phones are sold, the profit is \$4256.25.
