polynominal

An appliance company sells x machines
total revenue R in dollars, given by
polynominal R=221.19x-0.2x^2.
What is revenue from sale of 273 machines. I do not know what I am
suppose to multiply first. Please help.

R = 221.19x - 0.2x^2

R = 221.19 (273) - 0.2(273)^2
R = 221.19 (273) - 0.2(74,529)
R = ?

To find the revenue from the sale of 273 machines, you need to substitute the value of x (273) into the polynomial equation provided, which is:

R = 221.19x - 0.2x^2.

Let's break down the equation step by step to understand how to solve it.

1. Start by substituting the value of x (273) into the equation:

R = 221.19(273) - 0.2(273)^2.

2. Now, simplify each part of the equation:

R = 221.19 * 273 - 0.2 * (273^2).

3. Calculate the value inside the parentheses first:

273^2 = 273 * 273 = 74,529.

R = 221.19 * 273 - 0.2 * 74,529.

4. Perform the multiplications:

R = 60,057.87 - 14,905.8.

5. Finally, subtract the second value from the first:

R = 45,152.07.

Therefore, the revenue from the sale of 273 machines is $45,152.07.
