The Audubon Society at Enormous State University (ESU) is planning its annual fund raising "Eat-a-thon." The society will charge

students 87 per serving of pasta. The only expenses the society will incur are the cost of the pasta, estimated at 17€ per serving, and the $350 cost of renting the facility for the evening. (a) Write down the associated cost function C(x) in dollars. C(x) Write down the revenue function R(x) in dollars. R(X) Write down the profit function P(x) in dollars. P(x) (b) How many servings of pasta must the Audubon Society sell to break even? servings (c) What profit (or loss) results from the sale of 1,500 servings of pasta?

Answer:

a) Cost

C(x)=0.17x +350

Revenue

R(x)=0.87x

Profit

P(x)=0.7x-350

b) 500 servings

c) $ 700 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The total cost is the cost per serving plus the cost of renting the facility

Cost per serving = 0.17 per serving

Cost of renting = 350

and we write:

C(x)=0.17x +350

The total revenue is the what the University charges per serving, which is 87 cents per serving. And we write:

R(x)=0.87x

Profit is Revenue minus Cost, which is:

P(x)= R(x)-C(x)=0.87x-(0.17x +350)= 0.87x -0.17x -350= 0.7x - 350\\\\P(x)=0.7x-350

b) To break even Revenue equals Cost, we write

R(x)=C(x)\\0.87x=0.17x+350\\0.87x -0.17x=350\\0.7x=350\\x=\frac{350}{0.7} =500

<em><u>500 servings must the Audubon Society sell to break even.</u></em>

c) we plug 1,500 into the P(x) equation and we get:

P(x)=0.7x-350\\P(1,500)=0.7(1,500)-350\\P(1,500)=0.7(1,500)-350\\P(1,500)=1,050-350\\P(1,500)=700

<em><u>The sale of 1,500 servings of pasta results in a profit of $ 700 dollars.</u></em>

Find each key feature of the function shown in the graph. Write the range and domain in interval notation, and assume all values
gayaneshka [121]

The domain of the graph is  -8 while the range of the graph is -4\leq x.

  • The domain of the graph is input values of "x" for which the function exists while the range is the output values "y" for which the function exists.

For the graph, the domain will be the values of the graph along the x-axis.

  • Domain = -8 (Note that -8 is not included)

  • For the range, the interval is given as: -4\leq x. Note that the value of 4 is not included since it is opened.
