The profit in dollars in producing $x$ -items of some commodity is given by the equation $P=-2 x^{2}+400 x-15000 .$ (a) How many items should be produced to break even? (b) How many items should be produced to maximize profit? (c) What is the maximum profit?
Reviewing the Basics
The Quadratic Formula and Applications
a) A firm can produce 500 units per week. If its total cost function is C = 900 + 1000x dollars and its total revenue function is R = 1500x - x^2 dollars, how many units, x, should it produce to maximize its profit? x = Find the maximum profit. b) If the profit function for a product is P(x) = 3500x + 80x^2 - x^3 - 108,000 dollars, selling how many items, x, will produce a maximum profit? x = Find the maximum profit.

Find the maximum profit given by the revenue and cost functions below, where x is in thousands of units and R(x) and C(x) are in thousands of dollars: R(x) = 115x - x^2 C(x) = 1/3x^3 - 6x^2 + 91x + 37 A. 683 thousand dollars B. 251 thousand dollars C. 469 thousand dollars D. 395 thousand dollars
