A company produces two types of solar panels per year: x thousand of type A and y thousand of type B. The revenue and cost equations, in millions of dollars, for the year are given as follows.
R(x,y) = 3x + 4y
C(x,y) = x2 - 2xy + 6y2 + 5x - 28y- 9
Determine how many of each type of solar panel should be produced per year to maximize profit.
.....
