Answer:
<em>(a). P(x) = 8x - 112,000 </em>
<em> (b). $80,000 </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
(a). P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
P(x) = 50x - 112,000 - 42x
<em>P(x) = 8x - 112,000</em>
(b). P(24,000) = 8(24,000) - 112,000 = <em>80,000</em>
----------------------------------------
(a). <em>P(x) = 8x - 112,000</em>
If the line is perpendicular, then as a rule the gradient of the perpendicular line will be the negative inverse of the gradient of the line given.
Therefore the gradient of the perpendicular line would be 1/2
so now just substitute in the equation of a line (y=mx+c) where y and x are given by -3 and 9, and your new m=1/2
Hope this helps
I’d say 6 I’m not very sure
