- For a certain company, the cost function for producing x items is C(x)=40x+200, and the revenue function for selling x items in R(x)=−0.5(x−80)2+3,200. The maximum capacity of the company is 110 items. The profit function P(x) is the revenue function R(x) (how much it takes in) minus the cost function C(x) (how much it spends).
