E. The financial department for the company established the following cost function for
producing and selling x thousand notebook computers:
C(x) = 4,000 + 500x thousand dollars.
Write a profit function for producing and selling x thousand notebook computers and
indicate its domain. P(x) = R(x) – C(x) = 2000x – 60x² – (4,000 + 500x)
= 2000x – 60x² – 4000 – 500x
P(x) = – 60 x² + 1500x – 4000, D = {3.04 < x < 21.96}
