The monthly profit for a company that makes decorative picture frames depends on the price per frame. The company determines that the profit is approximated by f(p)= -80p + 3440p -36,000, where p is the price per frame and f(p) is the monthly profit based on that price. Requried:
a. Find the price that generates the maximum profit.
b. Find the maximum profit.
c. Find the price(s) that would enable the company to break even.

a. $21.50

b. $980

c. $25 and $18

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The price that generates the maximum profit is

In this question we use the vertex formula i.e shown below:

where a = -80

b = 3440

c = 36000

hence,

P-coordinate is

= $21.5

b. Now The maximum profit could be determined by the following equation

= $980

c. The price that would enable the company to break even that is

f(p) = 0

By applying the factoring by -50 and then divided it by -80 and after that we split middle value and at last factors could come

(p - 25) = 0 or (p - 18) = 0

so we can write in this form as well which is

p = 25 or p = 18

Therefore the correct answer is $25 and $18

answer: a.

step-by-step explanation: the answer is a. because, you need to converge the fractions to find a solution.
