George has opened a new store and he is monitoring its success closely.

He has found that this store's revenue each month can be modeled by r (x) = x^2+5x+14 where x represents the number of months since the store opens the doors and r (x) is measured in hundreds of dollars.

He has also found that his expenses each month can be modeled by c (x) = x^2-4x+5 where x represents the number of months the store has been open and c (x) is measured in hundreds of dollars.

What does (r-c) (5) mean about George's new store?

The new store will have a profit of $5400 after its fifth month in business.

The new store will have a profit of $900 after its fifth month in business.

The new store will sell 5400 items in its fifth month in business.
