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). (1 point)
1. If the company wants to make a profit of $6, they need to sell units for either $2 or $9.
2. The company's profit from selling their product for $6 per unit is $120.
3. If the company wants to make a profit of $6, they need to sell either 2 or 9 units.
4. The company's profit from selling 6 units is $120.

Answer 1

Answer:

2. The company's profit from selling their product for $6 per unit is $120.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we graph this function on a 2-axis plane such that the horizontal axis (x) represents $s$, or the product's price per unit and the vertical axis (y) represents $p(s)$, or the profit made by selling the product at $s$ dollar, we'll find that the $p$-coordinate of the point where $s=6$ is 120. Hence, $120 profit will be made if the product is sold at $6 per unit.
