Interpreted by text, we have got 2 function; 1 that describes the costs for ther performance and the other demonstrates the revenue.
f(x)= 1000x + 30 000
g(x)= 2500x
Two ways to work out when the school breaks on the
production of the play.
1- set these functions in geogebra and observe where cross each other. This value will be the answer as g goes higher than f
2- solve as an equation=> set f(x)=g(x) and work out the and afterward set the x value in f or g to find out the y coordinate
