A) Profit is the difference between revenue an cost. The profit per widget is
  m(x) = p(x) - c(x)
  m(x) = 60x -3x^2 -(1800 - 183x)
  m(x) = -3x^2 +243x -1800
Then the profit function for the company will be the excess of this per-widget profit multiplied by the number of widgets over the fixed costs.
  P(x) = x×m(x) -50,000
  P(x) = -3x^3 +243x^2 -1800x -50000

b) The marginal profit function is the derivative of the profit function.
  P'(x) = -9x^2 +486x -1800

c) P'(40) = -9(40 -4)(40 -50) = 3240
  Yes, more widgets should be built. The positive marginal profit indicates that building another widget will increase profit.

d) P'(50) = -9(50 -4)(50 -50) = 0
  No, more widgets should not be built. The zero marginal profit indicates there is no profit to be made by building more widgets.

_____
On the face of it, this problem seems fairly straightforward, and the above "step-by-step" seems to give fairly reasonable answers. However, if you look at the function p(x), you find the "best price per widget" is negatve for more than 20 widgets. Similarly, the "cost per widget" is negative for more than 9.8 widgets. Thus, the only reason there is any profit at all for any number of widgets is that the negative costs are more negative than the negative revenue. This does not begin to model any real application of these ideas. It is yet another instance of failed math curriculum material.

Answer:

Coefficients are 2, 5, -1. (Coefficients are the numbers before the x)

Constant is 3 (constant is the number without any x)

2x^5+0x^4+5x^3+0x^2-x+3

You start with the biggest and end with the smallest, if anything isnt present int he original equation (for example x^4 in this case) put it in with a zero before it.

Lets day the original price of the dvd player was $100,
36% marked down means you pay $64x
64x = $41.60
100x = 100/54 x 41.60 = 4160/64 = #65.00 = original cost
similarly, stereo tuners = 100/78 x 69.42 = 6942/78 = $89 original cost
DVD = 65- 41.60 = $ 23. 40 less 
Stereo = 89- 69.42 = $ 19.58 less
Diffrence is $ 3.82
so your answer is the dvd player price was reduced by $3.82 more than the stereo tuner.
