I am given this question: The price p, in dollars, of a certain commodity and the quantity x sold obey the demand equation p = (−x/5)+200 where 0 ≤ x ≤ 1000 Suppose that the cost C, in dollars, of producing x units is C =(√x/10)+400. Assuming that all items produced are sold, find the cost C as a function of the price p. Is it safe to assume that this question has an issue since the cost C cannot be integrated into the price equation?
1.The price p in dollars of a certain commodity and the quantity x sold obey the demand equation p= -1/5x + 200 where 0<=x <=1000.
