Answer

$0.055 x - 1.5×10^{-6} x^2$

Work Step by Step

From problem #76, the revenue is: $0.15x-0.000002x^2$ We are also given the cost: $0.095x-0.0000005x^2$ Thus, using the given formula for the profit (revenue minus cost), we get: $P(x)=0.15x-0.000002x^2-(0.095x-0.0000005x^2)=0.055 x - 1.5×10^{-6} x^2$
