Until recently, hamburgers at the city sports arena cost $ 2.50 each. The food concessionaire sold an average of 2250 hamburgers on game night. When the price was raised to $2.80 hamburger sales dropped off to an average of 2,100 per night. The concessionaire's fixed costs were $1725.20 per night and the variable cost was $1.70 per hamburger. Answer the following questions (A) through (F).
(A) Assume that the relationship between price p and demand x is linear. Express p as a function of x and find the domain of this function.
p=
The domain of p is (Type a compound? inequality.)
(B) Find the revenue function in terms of x and state its domain.
R(x)=
The domain of R(x) is (Type a compound? inequality.)
(C) Assume that the cost function is linear. Express the cost function in terms of x.
C(x)=
(D) Graph the cost function and the revenue function in the same coordinate system.
Find the break-even points:
The break-even points are:
(Simplify your answer. Type an ordered pair. Use a comma to separate answers as? needed.)
(E) Find the profit function in terms of x.
P(x)=
(F) Evaluate the marginal profit at x=600 and interpret the results.

drop in business due to an increase in interest rates and a
corresponding slowdown in remodeling projects. To stimulate
business, the company is considering exhibiting at the Middleton
