Application: Business
Master Application: Business in Grade 10 math: calculate periods, key points, and asymptotes using the y=a·tan(bx) formula with Saxon Algebra examples.
Key Concepts
In business, a profit function $p(x)$ can be created by subtracting the cost function $f(x)$ from the income (or revenue) function $g(x)$. The formula is: $$p(x) = \text{Income} \text{Cost} = g(x) f(x)$$ The variable $x$ represents the number of items sold.
A baker's cost is $f(x) = 3 + 6.25x$ dollars and income is $g(x)=12x$ dollars. The profit function is $p(x) = 12x (3 + 6.25x) = 5.75x 3$ dollars. The profit from selling 6 pastries is $p(6) = 5.75(6) 3 = 34.50 3 = 31.50$ dollars.
Imagine you're selling custom sneakers. Your income is all the money you collect, but you had to buy the plain shoes and paint first. That's your cost. To find out if you're actually making money, you subtract your costs from your income. This new 'profit function' is your business's report card, telling you exactly how much you earn per sneaker.
