Suppose R(x) and C(x) denote the total revenue and the total cost, respectively, of producing a new high-tech widget. The difference P(x) = R(x) - C(x) represents the total profit for producing x widgets. Given R(x) = 60x -0.4 x2 and C(x) = 3x + 13, find the equation for P(x). P(x) - 60x -0.4x2 P(x) = -0.4x2 +57x - 13 P(x) = -0.4x2 +63x +...
