Question

The function p(x) = 2(x-9)2 + 100 is used to determines the profit on T-shirts sold for x dollars. What would the profit from sales be if the proce of the T-shirts were $15 a piece?

Answer 1

the profit will be $172

Explanation:

The function given is:

p(x) = 2(x-9)^2 + 100

Where x is the price of the each shirt.

if each shirt is sold for $15, hen x = 15.

the profit will be:

p(15) = 2(15-9)^2 + 100

p(15) = 2(6)^2 + 100

p(15) = 2(36) + 100

p(15) = 72 + 100

p(15) = 172

So, the profit will be $172
