11. An Ice Cream Truck determines that their daily profit can be modelled by the function: P(x) = -100x² + 700x - 600, where x represents the selling price per ice cream, in dollars. a) At what selling price does the ice cream truck break even? (profit b) Determine the marginal profit function, P'(x). = 0) c) The profit will be a maximum when the marginal profit equals zero. Determine the selling price per ice cream that results in a maximum profit.
