Multivariable Functions: Exercise 9.1 #7Multivariable Functions: Exercise 9.1 #7Let P(c, s) be the profit in dollars from the sale of a Let P(c, s) be the profit in dollars from the sale of a yard of fabric when c dollars is the production cost per yard of fabric when c dollars is the production cost per yard and s dollars is the sales price per yard. Interpret yard and s dollars is the sales price per yard. Interpret the following:the following:a. P(1.2, s)a. P(1.2, s)c. P(1.2, 4.5) = 3.0c. P(1.2, 4.5) = 3.0
a. P(1.2, s) = the profit when the production cost is a. P(1.2, s) = the profit when the production cost is $1.20 per yard and the sales price is s dollars per yard.$1.20 per yard and the sales price is s dollars per yard.
c. P(1.2, 4.5) = 3.0 means the profit is $3.00 per yard c. P(1.2, 4.5) = 3.0 means the profit is $3.00 per yard when the production cost is $1.20 per yard and the when the production cost is $1.20 per yard and the sales price is $4.50 per yard.sales price is $4.50 per yard.
