Marginal Profit for an Apartment Complex Lynbrook West, an apartment complex, has 100 two-bedroom units. The monthly profit (in dollars) realized from renting $x$ apartments is $$ P(x)=-10 x^{2}+1760 x-50,000 $$ a. What is the actual profit realized from renting the 51 st unit, assuming that 50 units have already been rented? b. Compute the marginal profit when $x=50,$ and compare your results with that obtained in part (a).
