Acompany makes and sells charm bracelets. the cost of producing x bracelets is represented by the function c(x) = 180 + 8x. the revenue earned from selling x bracelets is represented by the function r(x) = 20x. write and simplify a function p that represents the profit made from selling x bracelets. how many bracelets must the company sell to break even?

P(x) = 12x – 180

Given:

A company makes and sells charm bracelets.

The cost of producing x bracelets is represented by the function C(x) = 180 +

8x

The revenue earned from selling x bracelets is represented by the function

R(x) = 20x.

Explanation of terms:

For x bracelets,

Cost of production is C(x); C(x) = 180 + 8x

Revenue earned is R(x); R(x) = 20x.Profit made is P(x); P(x) is unknown

Profit made = Revenue earned – Cost of production

∴ P(x) = R(x) – C(x)

P(x) = 20x – (180 + 8x)

P(x) = 20x – 180 – 8x

P(x) = 12x – 180

The profit made from selling x bracelets is represented by the function

P(x) = 12x – 180

15 bracelets are required to break even.

180+ 8x=20x

180=12x

15=x

Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
