Question
Market research indicates that consumers will buy x thousands of units of a particular kind of coffee markers when the unit price is: p(x)=-0.27x + 51 dollars. The cost of producing the x thousands units is C(x)=2.23x^2 + 3.5x +85
A. How much revenues R(x) and profit P(x) are obtained from producing x thousands of units (coffee markers)?
B. For what values of x is production of the coffee marker profitable?
Note: For part b of this question, please provide a detailed explanation and show your work
