Well, my calculator gives 88 for part b.
The graph is so steep that it is hard to tell about part c., but the graph has a maximum near x=343.
Andrea C.
asked 09/30/20An appliance manufacturer estimates that the profit y (in dollars) generated by producing x cooktops per month is given by the equation y = 10x + 0.5x2 − 0.001x3 − 4000,
where 0 ≤ x ≤ 450.
(b) How many cooktops must be produced to begin generating a profit? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
(c) For what range of values of x is the company's profit greater than $15,000? (Enter your answer using interval notation. Round numerical values to the nearest whole number.)
