The marginal profit function for a company is given by P'(x) = 320/?x - 2. Estimate the change in profit when the number of items sold increases from 1,486 to 1,510 with six subintervals of equal width and one of the following. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) a right-hand Riemann sum (b) a left-hand Riemann sum

The profit function $P$ is shown for producing and selling $x$ items. Determine the values of $x$ for which a. $P(x)=0$ (the company breaks even) b. $P(x)<0$ (the company experiences a loss) c. $P(x)>0$ (the company makes a profit)

Profit from marginal profit. A firm has the marginalprofit function $$ \frac{d P}{d x}=\frac{9000-3000 x}{\left(x^{2}-6 x+10\right)^{2}} $$ where $P(x)$ is the profit earned at $x$ dollars per unit. Find the total-profit function given that $P=\$ 1500$ at $x=\$ 3$
