Question

The function p(s)=−10s2+110s−180 represents a company's profit p made on selling a product for s dollars per unit. Calculate and interpret p(6).

Answer 1

The company's profit made out of selling $6 per unit is $120

Explanation:

You basically insert 6 for s and evaluate...

-10(6)^2+110(6)-180, first you multiply the exponents...

-10(36)+110(6)-180, then multiply...

-360+660-180, then simplify...

300-180

=120
