Question

The Scooter Company manufactures and sells electric scooters. Each scooter cost $150 to produce, and the company has a fixed cost of $2,000. The Scooter Company earns a total revenue that can be determined by the function R(x) = 400x − 2x2, where x represents each electric scooter sold. Which of the following functions represents the Scooter Company's total profit?
−2x2 − 150x − 2,000
−2x2 + 250x − 2,000
−2x2 + 150x − 1,600
−300x3 − 4,000x2 + 60,000x + 800,000

Answer 1

The function that represents the Scooter Company's total profit is given by:

P(x) = -2x² + 250x - 2,000.

How to calculate the profit function?

The profit function is calculated by the revenue function subtracted by the cost function, hence:

P(x) = R(x) - C(x).

In this problem, we have that:

• The revenue function is: R(x) = 400x - 2x².

• The cost function is: X(x) = 150x + 2000.

Hence the profit function is:

P(x) = R(x) - C(x).

P(x) = 400x - 2x² - (150x + 2000).

P(x) = -2x² + 250x - 2,000.
