Urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!A bicycle company produces y blcycles at a cost represented by the polynomial y ^ 2 + 10y + 400, 000 . The revenue for y represented by 3y^ 2 +10y+700. Find a polynomial that represents their profit. If the company only has enough materials to make 400 bicycles , should it make the bicycles ?

In order to calculate the profit, let's subtract the revenue and the cost:


\begin{gathered} \text{profit}=\text{revenue-cost} \\ \text{profit}=3y^2+10y+700-(y^2+10y+400000) \\ \text{profit}=2y^2-399300 \end{gathered}

Now, for 400 bicycles, let's calculate the profit:


\begin{gathered} \text{profit}=2\cdot400^2-399300 \\ \text{profit}=320000-399300 \\ \text{profit}=-79300 \end{gathered}

Since the profit is negative, the company should not make the bicycles.
