lora16 [44]

Answer:

The maximum amount of profit the company can make is $854.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the selling price of each widget

y ---> the amount of profit

we have

$y=-3x^{2} +155x-1148$

This is the equation of a vertical parabola open downward (because the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex represent a maximum

so

The y-coordinate of the vertex represent the maximum amount of profit the company can make

using a graphing tool

Find out the vertex of the quadratic equation

The vertex is the point (25.83,854.08)

see the attached figure

The y-coordinate of the vertex is 854.08

therefore

The maximum amount of profit the company can make is $854.08
