Question

The polynomial function​ P(x) =35x-69000 models the relationship between the number of computer briefcases x that a company sells and the profit the company​ makes, P(x). Find ​P(​4000), the profit from selling 4000 computer briefcases.

Answer 1

Profit = $71000

Explanation:

To find P(4000), we plug in 4000 for x in P(x) = 35x - 69000 and simplify:

P(4000) = 35(4000) - 69000

P(4000) = 140000 - 69000

P(4000) = 71000

Thus, the profit from selling 4000 computer briefcases is $71000.
