A company has determined that its weekly profit is a function of the number of items that it sells. Which equation could represent the weekly profit in thousands of dollars, y, when the company sells x items? y squared = 4 x squared minus 100 y = negative x squared + 50 x minus 300 x = negative y squared minus 400 x squared = negative 6 y squared + 200

B. y= -x^2+50x-300

Step-by-step explanation:

A. y^2=4x^2-100

B. y= -x^2+50x-300

C. x=-y^2-400

D. x^2=-6y^2+200

we are to find profits (y) when the company sells x items

Option A can be used to calculate the profit (y) squared

Option B can be used to calculate profits (y)

Option C can be used to calculate items sold(x)

Option D can be used to calculate items sold squared(x^2)

We are asked to find the weekly profit (y) function which eliminate options A, C and D leaving us with option B

Therefore, the weekly profits (y) function in thousands of dollars when the company sells x items is

B. y= -x^2+50x-300

a. -0.3 > -0.33
