The revenue from selling y units of an item is 3y2 - 2y + 5, and the cost of producing y units is y2 + y - 3. Find the simplified expression that represents the profit.

Respuesta :

Answer: Profit is Revenue minus Cost.

[tex]2y^{2} -3y + 8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the values given into the formula.

Profit = revenue - cost

Profit = [tex]3y^{2} -2y +5 -(y^{2} +y-3)[/tex]

distribute the -1 to get

[tex]3y^{2} -2y +5[/tex] [tex]-y^{2} -3y +3[/tex]

Then combine like terms.

[tex]2y^{2} -3y + 8[/tex]
