Profit is the difference between revenue and cost. the revenue, in dollars, of a company that makes skateboards can be modeled by the polynomial 2x3 + 30x – 130. the cost, in dollars, of producing the skateboards can be modeled by 2x3 – 3x – 520. the variable x represents the number of skateboards sold.

what expression represents the profit?
27x – 650
27x + 390
33x – 650
33x + 390

Ascientist places 24 cells in a petri dish. she knows the cells grow at an exponential rate, doubling in number every hour. how long will it take (in hours) for there to be 1100 cells in the dish? time to 1100 cells: 5.51832530 hours how long will it take to reach 110 cells? time to 110 cells : 2.1963972 hours what is the average rate of change in the number of cells between 9 hours and 11 hours? average rate of change: cells per hour what is the instantaneous rate of change after 7 hours? instantaneous rate of change: cells per hour note: you can earn partial credit on this problem.
