An automobile manufacturer can produce up to 300 cars per day. The profit made from the sale of these vehicles can be modeled by the function: P(x) = -10x^2 + 3500x - 66,000, where P(x) is the profit in dollars and x is the number of automobiles made and sold. How many cars should be made and sold to maximize profit?
Profit A small-appliance manufacturer finds that the profit $P(\text { in dollars) generated by producing } x$ microwave ovens per week is given by the formula $P=\frac{1}{10} x(300-x)$ provided that $0 \leq x \leq 200 .$ How many ovens must be manufactured in a given week to generate a profit of $\$ 1250 ?$
