Trying to figure out how to find an ordered pair for a break even point. I have one of the numbers but confused as to how to get the second number. Functions are C(x)= 35x+1100 and R(x) =60x. From this I determined the profit to be P(x)=25x-1100 and then setting the C(x)=R(x) I got 44.

Question

Plug x = 44 into either function to get the second value of the ordered pair (where the two lines cross)

Okay so it doesn't matter if I plug it into C(x) or R(x)? Well... That was easier than I expected!!

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

I meant to say "either C(x) or R(x)". You aren't including P(x) into this because plugging in x = 44 into P(x) will give you 0

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

yes either C(x) or R(x) works because the two outputs are equal for this given input
