The revenue function of a company that sells gaming consoles is R(x) = 6x2 + 100x + 300. The cost function is C(x) = 25x + 100. Which function describes the profit function of the company?
To find the profit function \( P(x) \) of the company, we use the formula:
\[
P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
\]
where \( R(x) \) is the revenue function and \( C(x) \) is the cost function.
Given:
\[
R(x) = 6x^2 + 100x + 300
\]
\[
C(x) = 25x + 100
\]
Now, we can substitute \( R(x) \) and \( C(x) \) into the profit function formula:
\[
P(x) = (6x^2 + 100x + 300) - (25x + 100)
\]
Simplifying this, we distribute the negative sign across \( C(x) \):
\[
P(x) = 6x^2 + 100x + 300 - 25x - 100
\]
Now, combine like terms:
\[
P(x) = 6x^2 + (100x - 25x) + (300 - 100)
\]
\[
P(x) = 6x^2 + 75x + 200
\]
Thus, the profit function \( P(x) \) is:
\[
P(x) = 6x^2 + 75x + 200
\]
