Solution Summary
Calculates the range of values for which profit is positive.
Solution Preview
R= 50x-x^2
C=2x + 40
Profit = R-C = 50x-x^2-2x-40=48x-x^2-40
Profit = -x^2+48x-40
This is a quadratic equation of the form ax^2+bx+ c
where
a= -1
b= 48
c= -40
Let us find the value for which this equation ...
