Hi,

Annual profit in thousands of dollars is given by the function,

 P(x) = -.1x2 + 50x - 300, where x is the number of items sold, x ≥ 0.

 the -300 would be the adjustments to the annual profits due to 'fixed cost'



that is to say if NO items were sold..there would be a loss of $300,000

and...solving -1x^2 + 50x - 300 = 0 would tell us how many need to be sold

to break even.
