Question

What is maximum weekly profit?

### Profit Model

Use the models computed to find a model of the weekly profit using \( x \) as the independent variable.

\[ P(x) = x^3 + x^2 - 42x + 96 \]

**Note:** No calculator regression. Use the fact that profit revenue minus cost.

The original form of the weekly profit model has roots at \( x = -5.26709, x = -1.74555, \) and \( x = 202.944 \), rounded to 3 decimal places.

The adjusted form of the weekly profit model has roots at \( x = -8.9488 \) and \( x = 140.295 \), rounded to 3 decimal places.

### What is the maximum weekly profit? Round to the nearest dollar.

**Vaster Outfitters manufactures and sells extreme-cold sleeping bags.**

The table below shows the price-demand and total cost data, where:
- \( p \) is the wholesale price (in dollars) of a sleeping bag for a weekly demand of \( x \) sleeping bags.
- \( C \) is the total cost (in dollars) of producing \( x \) sleeping bags.

| \( x \) (sleeping bags) | \( p \) | \( C \) |
|------------------|-------|------|
| 120              | 245   | 13,000 |
| 150              | 220   | 15,000 |
| 180              | 195   | 17,100 |
| 200              | 155   | 18,500 |
| 220              | 105   | 21,000 |

### Revenue Model

Using the regression model computed above, find a model for the weekly revenue, using \( x \) as the independent variable.

**NOTE:** Do not calculate another regression. Use the price equation to find a model for revenue.

\[ R(x) = p \cdot x = (a + bx + cx^2)x = ax + bx^2 + cx^3 \]

### Cost Model

Find a quadratic regression equation for the price-demand data, using \( x \) as the independent variable:

\[ p = a + bx + cx^2 \]

Round \( a \) to the nearest integer, round \( b \) to 2 decimal places, and round \( c \) to 4 decimal places.

Find a linear regression model for the weekly cost data, using \( x \) as the independent variable.

\[ C(x) = mx + k \]

Round \( m \) to 1 decimal place, and round \( k \) to the nearest integer.
