Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is that the new store will have a profit of $5400 after its fifth month.
Profit is given by subtracting revenue minus cost:
(R-C)(x) = (x²+5x+14)-(x²-4x+5) = x²-x²+5x--4x+14-5 = 5x+4x+14-5=9x+9
Using 5 for x,
(R-C)(5) = 9(5) + 9 = 45+9 = 54
This is in hundreds of dollars, so it represents $5400.
