We have been given that the profit that the vendor makes per day by selling x pretzels is given by the function P(x)=-4x^2+2400x-400. We are asked to find the number of pretzels that must be sold to maximize profit.

First of all, we will find the derivative of our given function.

P'(x)=-4\cdot 2x^{2-1}+2400

P'(x)=-8x+2400

Now, we will find the critical point by equating derivative with 0 as:

-8x+2400=0

-8x+2400-2400=0-2400

-8x=-2400

\frac{-8x}{-8}=\frac{-2400}{-8}

x=300

Therefore, the company must sell 300 pretzels to maximize profit and option B is the correct choice.

If signs are different you subtract. So 2.5- -1.25 equals 1.25 and keep the sign of the biggest number
