Question 238346
A computer company determines the profit equation (in millions of dollars) is given by P=x^3-48x^2+720x-1000, where x is the number of thousands of units of software sold and x is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 40
------------------
You could graph it and see where the high and the low points are in that interval.
{{{graph(400,300,-10,50,-1400,5000,x^3-48x^2+720x-1000)}}}
---------------------------
Or, if you are studying calculus you could take the 1st derivative,
and the 2nd derivative and determine the local and absolute max/min
values on [0,40]
