Question

You work for a company producing cell phones.  The cost C for producing x cell phones is C ( x ) = 240 x + 50 , 000.  The revenue R received from selling x phones is modeled with the function R ( x ) = 2000 x − 10 x^2.

 

  1. For what number of cell phones does your company have no profit or loss?  
  2. What number of cell phones would give your company the maximum profit?  How much profit would your company make for this number of phones? 
  3. On the same coordinate system, graph the cost, revenue, and profit functions.  Be sure to make your graph large enough to show the appropriate detail and choose appropriate scales on each axis.
