The total monthly profit for a firm is P(x)=6400x−18x^2− (1/3)x^3−40000 dollars, where x is the number of units sold. A maximum

of 100 units can be sold per month.
How many units should be sold to maximize monthly profit? units

What is the maximum monthly profit when this number of units are sold? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) dollars

(Hint: When you solve for the critical values in this question, you'll have to solve a quadratic equation. You can do that using the quadratic formula, or you can do it by factoring.)

Answer:

Maximum profits are earned when x = 64 that is when 64 units are sold.

Maximum Profit = P(64) = 2,08,490.666667$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:P(x) = 6400x - 18x^2 - \frac{x^3}{3} - 40000, where P(x) is the profit function.

We will use double derivative test to find maximum profit.

Differentiating P(x) with respect to x and equating to zero, we get,

\displaystyle\frac{d(P(x))}{dx} = 6400 - 36x - x^2

Equating it to zero we get,

x^2 + 36x - 6400 = 0

We use the quadratic formula to find the values of x:

x = \displaystyle\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}, where a, b and c are coefficients of x^2, x^1 , x^0 respectively.

Putting these value we get x = -100, 64

Now, again differentiating

\displaystyle\frac{d^2(P(x))}{dx^2} = -36 - 2x

At x = 64,  \displaystyle\frac{d^2(P(x))}{dx^2} < 0

Hence, maxima occurs at x = 64.

Therefore, maximum profits are earned when x = 64 that is when 64 units are sold.

Maximum Profit = P(64) = 2,08,490.666667$

1. Since it's m - 7 you would have 7 to both sides so you would in fact have m < 13. If you double check your answer, you see that if m is say 12 (because 12 is obviously less than 13), 12 - 7 < 6

2. Again, use the same process on this problem as the first one. Add 8 to each sides because it's you're subtracting 8 from n. So you end up with n > 13. Check your answer. Say n is 14. 14 - 8 > 5

3. This one is different because you are adding 5 to p. So in order to get p by itself, you need to subtract 5 from both sides. p < 5. Say p is 4, 4 + 5 < 10.

When working with problems like these, you need to isolate the variable on one side and get it by itself.
