You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The profit function P is
\n" ); document.write( "P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
\n" ); document.write( "P(x) = ( 1000x + 400 ) - ( 6x^2 + 700x )
\n" ); document.write( "P(x) = 1000x + 400 -6x^2 - 700x
\n" ); document.write( "P(x) = -6x^2 + 300x + 400
\n" ); document.write( "The vertex of a quadratic of the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c
\n" ); document.write( "is ( -b/2a , f( -b/2a ) )
\n" ); document.write( "For our equation, -b/2a = -(300)/2(-6) = 300/12 = 25
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting 25 for x in -6x^2 + 300x + 400
\n" ); document.write( "gives us -6(25)^2 + 300(25) + 400
\n" ); document.write( "-6(625) + 7500 + 400
\n" ); document.write( "3750 + 7500 + 400
\n" ); document.write( "3750 + 400
\n" ); document.write( "4150
\n" ); document.write( "So maximum profit is achieved when x = 25
