If an airline charges each passenger a fare of $120 per hour of flight, find the hourly profit P it earns operating the plane as a function of the number of passengers x. [HINT: The cost function is constant (variable cost = 0).] P(x) = Specify the domain. (Enter your answer using interval notation.)

The figure below shows the cost structure of this utility for various levels of water service. Quantity of water consumption is measured in 1,000-gallon units per month. AQFC is the average quasi-fixed cost curve, and LAC is long-run average cost. Long-run marginal cost, LMC, is constant and equal to $4 per 1,000-gallon unit.
