You can put this solution on YOUR website!
when they say "revenue from x^2-200x is 12,500", they are asking you to write an equation
x%5E2-200x=12500, which is the same as
x%5E2-200x-12500+=+0
that's a quadratic equation that you can solve with a quadratic equation solver, like the one on algebra.com.
