A manufacturer sells video games with the following cost and revenue functions (in dollars), where x is the number of games sold. Determine the interval(s) on which the profit function is increasing. C(x)=0.15x^2−0.00008x^3 R(x)=0.762x^2−0.0002x^3 Select the correct choice below and fill in any answer boxes within your choice. A.The profit function is increasing on the interval(s): (Type your answer in interval notation. Simplify your answer. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.) B. The profit function is never increasing.

A software company produces a computer game. The company has determined that its profit $P$ in dollars, from the manufacture and sale of $x$ games is given by $$ P(x)=-0.000001 x^{3}+96 x-98,000 $$ where $0<x \leq 9000$ a. What is the maximum profit, to the nearest thousand dollars, the company can expect from the sale of its games? b. How many games, to the nearest unit, does the company need to produce and sell to obtain the maximum profit?
