Question 106117: a manufacturer finds that the total cost C for a product is expressed by C=250x^2 - 24,000, and the total revenue R at a price of 200 per unit to be R=200x - 1,000, where x is the number of units sold. what is the break-even point (where total cost = total revenue) to the nearest unit?

Find x when C=R?

Use the quadratic formula,

Since a negative unit sold doesn't make sense, we'll only calculate the positive value.

10 units is the break-even point.
