In this question, the profit of the restaurant after t months is given by a polynomial function. To find when it begins to show a profit, we find the numerical values of the function for t, and it shows a profit when ![t > 0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t%20%3E%200)
Profit after t months:
![P(t) = t^4 - 10t^3 + 28t^2 - 24t](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%28t%29%20%3D%20t%5E4%20-%2010t%5E3%20%2B%2028t%5E2%20-%2024t)
0 months:
This is P(0). So
![P(0) = 0^4 - 10*0^3 + 28*0^2 - 24*0 = 0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%280%29%20%3D%200%5E4%20-%2010%2A0%5E3%20%2B%2028%2A0%5E2%20-%2024%2A0%20%3D%200)
1 month:
This is P(1). So
![P(1) = 1^4 - 10*1^3 + 28*1^2 - 24*1 = -5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%281%29%20%3D%201%5E4%20-%2010%2A1%5E3%20%2B%2028%2A1%5E2%20-%2024%2A1%20%3D%20-5)
2 months:
This is P(2). So
![P(2) = 2^4 - 10*2^3 + 28*2^2 - 24*2 = 0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%282%29%20%3D%202%5E4%20-%2010%2A2%5E3%20%2B%2028%2A2%5E2%20-%2024%2A2%20%3D%200)
3 months:
This is P(3). So
![P(3) = 3^4 - 10*3^3 + 28*3^2 - 24*3 = -9](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%283%29%20%3D%203%5E4%20-%2010%2A3%5E3%20%2B%2028%2A3%5E2%20-%2024%2A3%20%3D%20-9)
4 months:
This is P(4). So
![P(4) = 4^4 - 10*4^3 + 28*4^2 - 24*4 = -32](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%284%29%20%3D%204%5E4%20-%2010%2A4%5E3%20%2B%2028%2A4%5E2%20-%2024%2A4%20%3D%20-32)
5 months:
This is P(5). So
![P(5) = 5^4 - 10*5^3 + 28*5^2 - 24*5 = -45](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%285%29%20%3D%205%5E4%20-%2010%2A5%5E3%20%2B%2028%2A5%5E2%20-%2024%2A5%20%3D%20-45)
6 months:
This is P(6). So
![P(6) = 6^4 - 10*6^3 + 28*6^2 - 24*6 = 0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%286%29%20%3D%206%5E4%20-%2010%2A6%5E3%20%2B%2028%2A6%5E2%20-%2024%2A6%20%3D%200)
7 months:
This is `P(7). So
![P(7) = 7^4 - 10*7^3 + 28*7^2 - 24*7 = 175](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%287%29%20%3D%207%5E4%20-%2010%2A7%5E3%20%2B%2028%2A7%5E2%20-%2024%2A7%20%3D%20175)
After 7 months it shows profit, so it starts showing profit on the 6th month, and thus, the correct answer is given by option D.
