PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!

George has opened a new store and he is monitoring its success closely.

He has found that this store’s revenue each month can be modeled by r(x)=x^2+6x+10 where x represents the number of months since the store opens the doors and r(x) is measured in hundreds of dollars.

He has also found that his expenses each month can be modeled by c(x)=x^2−4x+5 where x represents the number of months the store has been open and c(x) is measured in hundreds of dollars.

Answer: A. profit of $4500

Explanation:

r(x) = x² + 6x + 10

- c(x) = x² - 4x + 5

(r - c)(x) = 10x + 5


(r - c)(4) = 10(4) + 5

= 40 + 5

= 45

(r - c)(x) represents the profit (in hundreds of dollars) in x months

(r - c)(4) represents the profit (in hundreds of dollars) in 4 months

So, the new store will have a profit of $4500 in 4 months
