Question 170398: A local elementary school is taking orders for a craf they will make. After calculating the cost of supplies the profit associated with making the craft is represented by P(x)=-x^2+130x-3000, where x represents the number of crafts sold and P represents the profilt. Determine the number of orders that could be acepted in order to make a profit. (Give the entire interval of solutions where a profit would be made)

the profit associated with making the craft is represented by P(x)=-x^2+130x-3000, where x represents the number of crafts sold and P represents the profilt. Determine the number of orders that could be acepted in order to make a profit.
------------------
Determine when P is > 0
--------------------------
Solve -x^2+130x -3000 = 0
-(x^2-130x+3000) = 0
(x-30)(x-100) = 0
----------------------
Profit interval: 30 < x < 100
