Okay, one last one tonight.
I'm confused about finding vertex.
Here's the problem:
A plastic bottle company has determined that when x bottles are produced and sold, the profit is given by P(x)= -.2x^2+5.28x+90.948. Where P(x) is in hundreds of dollars.
- How many bottles should be produced and sold to achieve maximum profit?
-What will the maximum profit be?
To find the vertex, x= -b/2a so x=-5.28/2(-.2) = 13.2 hundreds of bottles = 1320 bottles. So, 1320 bottles should be produced and sold to achieve maximum profit?
The Cost = C(13.2)= -.2(13.2)^2+5.28(13.2)+90.948 = 9.53 hundreds of dollars = 953 dollars will be the maximum profit?
I do not know if this is right, but I tried! Thank you in advance for your help.
