Question 1096790
 Miguel owns a business that sells snowboards.
The profit function for his business can be modelled by the equation
 P(x)= -2x^+26x-11 , where
 x is the quantity sold, in thousands, and 
P(x) is the profit in thousands of dollars.
 How many snowboards must Miguel sell in order for his business to break even?
:
When he breaks even, the profit will be 0, therefore:
-2x^2 + 26x - 11 = 0 
use the quadratic formula, a=-2; b=26; c=-11
I got a positive solution of 
x = 12.562 which is 12,562 skate boards to break even
