PROFIT
A barrel manufacturer can produce up to
300 barrels per day. The profit made
from the sale of these barrels can be modelled by the function
p(x) = – 10x2+ 3500 x – 66000, where p(x) is the profit in
rupees and x is the number of barrels made and sold. Based
on this model answer the following questions:
