Profit is the difference between revenue and cost. The revenue, in dollars, of a company that manufactures cell phones can be modeled by the polynomial 2x2 + 55x + 10. The cost, in dollars, of producing the cell phones can be modeled by 2x2 – 15x – 40. The variable x represents the number of cell phones sold. What expression represents the profit, and what is the profit if 240 cell phones are sold?

40x – 30; $2,400
40x – 30; $9,570
70x + 50; $16, 850
70x + 50; $28,800

ok so what we need to do is replace x with 240 so

480^2 – 3600 – 40

230400-3600-40

226760 so the cell phone company makes 226760 dollars if they sell 240 cell phones

Step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

this is a tricky question, lol,   but i think the answer is 100,000.
