The pro t function, p(x), for a company is the cost function, c(x), subtracted from the revenue function, r(x). The pro t function for the Acme Corporation is p(x) = 0:5x 2 + 250x 300 and the revenue function is r(x) = 0:3x 2 + 150x. The cost function for the Acme Corporation is

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the profit function is

p(x) = 0.5x^2 + 250x+300

also given that the revenue is given as

r(x) = 0.3x^2 + 150x

we know that profit= revenue - cost

hence cost = revenue-profit

cost = r(x) -p(x)

cost=  0.3x^2 + 150x-(0.5x^2 + 250x+300)

cost=  0.3x^2 + 150x-0.5x^2 - 250x-300

collect like terms

cost=0.3x^2-0.5^2+150x-250x-300

cost= -0.2x^2-100x-300

irrational, cannot

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.
