To make a positive profit p(x)>0 we need to make:

Now we solve this for x:

We have:
a = -2
b = 7
c = -3
We will use formula for quadratic equation:

We got two solutions. One is fraction other is whole number. We will not consider fraction because the amount of muffins sold must be whole number. So our solution is:
x>3
First, get common denominators
At the same time, turn these into mixed numbers
27/8 + x = 44/8
Subtract 27/8 from both sides
x = 2 1/8 pounds
Let’s x be how many more pounds the baby needs

Answer:
39
Step-by-step explanation:
Put 5 where x is and do the arithmetic.
f(5) = (5+1)^2 +3 = 6^2 +3 = 36 +3
f(5) = 39
