Question 1053392:
Luke Manufacturing estimates that its profit P(in hundreds of dollars) after producing x thousand units can be expressed as p(x)=-5x^2+50x+3. How many units must be produced to obtain a profit of $12,800?

p(x)=-5x^2+50x+3.
128 = -5x^2+50x+3
5x^2 - 50x + 125 = 0
x^2 - 10x + 25 = 0
(x-5)(x-5) = 0
x = 5
5000 units must be produced to obtain a profit of $12,800
