Question

A store sells a certain type of digital camera. The revenue from selling x cameras is modeled by 

R(x) = 420x − 0.5x2.

 The cost of producing x cameras is modeled by 

C(x) = 9600 + 150x − 0.1x2.

 These models are valid for x in the interval [0, 600].

(a) Find a function P(x) that models the profit from producing and selling x cameras.
P(x)  =
