.2
y = 4 - x²
and x +y = 2.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong to find this answer.
I've tried 4 and 8 as the LCD but the answer I get doesn't fit for x.
Solve the problem below. For your initial post in Brightspace, copy the description of your company given in the box below and then enter your solution to all seven questions (questions 1 through 7) of the problem. To copy the description of your company, highlighting and using "copy" from here in Mobius and then using "paste" into Brightspace should work. However, if when you copy and paste x2 you get x2 instead, then change your x2 to x^2.
For a certain company, the cost function for producing x items is C(x)=50x+200 and the revenue function for selling x items is R(x)=−0.5(x−100)2+5,000. The maximum capacity of the company is 120 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). In economic models, one typically assumes that a company wants to maximize its profit, or at least make a profit!
Answers to some of the questions are given below so that you can check your work.
