A small business makes cookies and sells them at the farmer's market. The fixed monthly cost for use of a Health Department-approved kitchen and rental space at the farmer's market is $790. The cost of labor, taxes, and ingredients for the cookies amounts to $0.24 per cookie, and the cookies sell for $6.00 per dozen. (See Example 6)
a. Write a linear cost function representing the cost
b. Write a linear revenue function representing the revenue
c. Write a linear profit function representing the profit for producing and selling x dozen cookies in a month.
d. Determine the number of cookies (in dozens) that must be produced and sold for a monthly profit.
e. If 150 dozen cookies are sold in a given month, how much money will the business make or lose?

- If you graph a revenue and cost function, explain how to determine in what regions there is profit.arrow_forwardLIFE SCIENCE APPLICATIONS HIV Infection The time interval between a persons initial infection with HIV and that persons eventual development of AIDS symptoms is an important issue. The method of infection with HIV affects the time interval before AIDS develops. One study of HIV patients who were infected by intravenous drug use found that 17 of the patients had AIDS after 4 years and 33 had developed the disease after 7 years. The relationship between the time interval and the percentage of patients with AIDS can be modeled accurately with a linear equation. Source: Epidemiologic Review. a. Write a linear equation y=mt+b that models these data, using the ordered pairs (4,0.17) and (7,0.33). b. Use your equation from part a to predict the number of years before half of these patients will have AIDS.arrow_forward
