Answer:
The profit function is p(x)=700x-1150.
Step-by-step explanation:
The monthly expenses, in dollars, for x months of operation is given by the function
[tex]f(x)=1600x+2385[/tex]
The monthly revenue, in dollars, earned by the bakery is given by the function
[tex]g(x)=2300x+1235[/tex]
The formula for profit:
[tex]Profit=Revenue-Cost[/tex]
Subtract the revenue and cost function to find the profit function.
[tex]p(x)=g(x)-f(x)[/tex]
[tex]p(x)=2300x+1235-(1600x+2385)[/tex]
[tex]p(x)=2300x+1235-1600x-2385[/tex]
On combining like terms we get
[tex]p(x)=(2300x-1600x)+(1235-2385)[/tex]
[tex]p(x)=700x-1150[/tex]
Therefore the profit function is p(x)=700x-1150.
