Question

Todd is attempting to predict how much money his furniture company will make based on the amount raw materials the company currently has at its disposal. The average profit from the sale of 1 piece of furniture can be expressed 2x-2 as and the average number of pieces of furniture that can be made using the current supply of raw materials can be expressed as 2x-2. What polynomial function can Todd use to calculate the average profit

Answer 1

`4x^(2) -8x+4`

Explanation:

The average profit expression is for 1 piece of furniture

The amount of furniture is another expression

So we have to multiply both expressions to get the total profit.

(2x-2) (2x-2) = 4x^2 - 4x - 4x + 4

= 4x^2 - 8x + 4
