(i) Profit Function (ii) Break Even values (iii) the values of x that results in a
loss.
Q5. The total cost , C (x) of purchasing x units of a certain commodity is given
by

3x,0  x  100

C ( x)  100  2 x,100  x  500
500  x, x  500


Is the Cost Function continuous at x  100 and x  500 ?
