Question

The revenue of a company is represented by r(x) and the expenses of the company are represented by e(x). What would you do to find the profit, p(x)?. A. r(x) + e(x) = p(x). B. r(x) – e(x) = p(x). C. e(x) – r(x) = p(x). D. r(x) / e(x) = p(x).

Answer 1

Correct option is:

B. r(x) – e(x) = p(x)

Explanation:

Profit is expressed as the difference between the revenue and the sales.

r(x) represent the revenue

e(x) represent the expenses

p(x) is the profit

Then, p(x)=r(x)-e(x)

Hence, Correct option is:

B. r(x) – e(x) = p(x)

Answer 2

We are given with the function of r (x) that represents the revenue or the total sales of the company and e(x) which represents the expenses of the company. Profit, p(x), is expressed as the difference between the revenue and the sales. The answer to this problem is B.
