A small business tracks its monthly profit over a 12-month period. You're given the company's profit function:
P(x)=−x2+12x−20- x = Number of units sold;
- P(x) = Profit in $1000 units;
- The negative coefficient of x2 means profit increases to a point, then decreases due to production costs.
-
Find the optimal number of units to sell — this is the vertex of the parabola, given by the formula:
x=−2ab -
Find the breakeven points where profit is zero — the roots of the quadratic equation, calculated as:
x=2a−b±b2−4ac
