bookChallenge: Maximizing Profit Using Quadratic Functions

Oppgave

Swipe to start coding

A small business tracks its monthly profit over a 12-month period. You're given the company's profit function:

P(x)=x2+12x20P(x) = -x^2 + 12x - 20
  • xx = Number of units sold;
  • P(x)P(x) = Profit in $1000 units;
  • The negative coefficient of x2x^2 means profit increases to a point, then decreases due to production costs.

  1. Find the optimal number of units to sell (vertex of the parabola).
  2. Find the breakeven points where profit is zero (roots of the equation).
