Question

The revenue each season from tickets at the theme part is represented by t(x) = 5x. The cost to pay the employees each season is represented by r(x) = (1.5)x. Examine the graph of the combined function for total profit and estimate the profit after four seasons.

Answer 1

14

Explanation:

The revenue earned is represented by t(x)=5x. Since the equation asks for the profit after four seasons you fill in 4 for x and get 20. r(x)=(1.5)x is how much it costs to pay their employees each season so you fill in 4 for x. Now you take revenue earned and subtract it by the cost to pay employees and you get the profit.

5x - 1.5x = Profit

5(4) - 1.5(4) = Profit

20 - 6 = Profit

14 = Profit
