A manufacturer finds that the profit in dollars for manufacturing n units is
P = n squared -9n - 71. (Assume that n is a positive integer.) How many units are produced when the profit is $119?
There are units manufactured.
------
Solve for "n"::
n^2 -9n - 71 = 119
-------
n^2 -9n - 190 = 0
-----
(n-19)(n+10) = 0
Positive solution::
n = 19 (# of units)
