1. **Problem Statement:**
We have a company's cost function $C = 2x + 100$ and revenue function $R = 5x$. We need to graph both functions and find the break-even point.
2. **Formulas and Explanation:**
- Cost function: $C = 2x + 100$ means the company has a fixed cost of 100 and a variable cost of 2 per unit.
- Revenue function: $R = 5x$ means the company earns 5 per unit sold.
- The break-even point occurs where revenue equals cost: $R = C$.
3. **Finding the Break-even Point:**
Set $5x = 2x + 100$.
4. **Solving for $x$:**
$$5x = 2x + 100$$
$$5x - 2x = 100$$
$$3x = 100$$
$$x = \frac{100}{3} \approx 33.33$$
5. **Interpretation:**
At approximately 33.33 units sold, the company's revenue equals its cost, meaning it neither makes a profit nor a loss. Selling more than this number of units results in profit.
6. **Summary:**
- Cost function: $C = 2x + 100$
- Revenue function: $R = 5x$
- Break-even point: $x = \frac{100}{3} \approx 33.33$
This is the point where the company covers all costs exactly.
