I think it was too long it isnt finished let me finish writing it on here.

anonymous · Answer

costs have been accounted for.
(b)  Plot P against x.  for what x-values is the graph of P below the x-axis?  Above the x-axis?  Interpret your results.
(c)  Interpret the slope and both intercepts of your graph in practical terms

I'll start u off, then I think u should sit and think about it a bit, it is not that difficult.

R=0.95x (ie x cups of coffee at 0.95)
