10. What are the break-even points of the profit function (the values of x where profit equals 0)? Use the quadratic formula. (4 points: 2 points for each x-value)

Answer:
r = 50000
P (r) = 0.7r - 35000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given cost function is
C (r) = 0.85r + 35000
and revenue function is
R (r) = 1.55r
At break even point, revenue is equal to cost
R(x)= C(x)
1.55r = 0.85r+35000
Subtract 0.85 from both sides
0.7r = 35000
divide by 0.7 on both sides
r = 50000
Profit function
P(x)= R(x)- C(x)
P(r) = 1.55r - (0.85r+35000)
P(r) = 1.55r - 0.85r - 35000
P(r) = 0.7r - 35000
