You begin a business manufacturing boxes of toothpicks. You sell each box for $3.75 and it costs you $1.00 to manufacture each box. Your weekly fixed cost is $500. Write a function that represents your weekly profit based on the number of boxes you make and sell. Hint: Profit=Revenue – Cost

Find the intercepts of :     3x-6y=18

Give the minimum value for the function. f(x)=4×2-24x
