In business, profit is the difference between revenue and cost.
Find the maximum profit of the unit sold in order to yield the maximum profit for:
R(x)=20x-0.1x^2, C(x)=4x+2
-----
Profit = 20x-0.1x^2 - (4x+2)
Profit = -0.1x^2 + 16x -2
----
You have a quadratic with a = -0.1 ; b = 16
---
Maximum occurs when x = -b/2a = -16/(2*-0.1) = -16/-0.2 = 80
--------------------------
Maximum Profit = P(80) = -0.1(80^2) + 16(80) -2 = $638.00
