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.

An international candy company, Longo’s Bubblegum Emporium (LBE), finds that the quantity, q, of sticks of bubblegum sold is a function of the price, p, per stick of gum. The company’s revenue, R, is therefore given by the equation R = q p. Moreover, LBE finds that q = 1000 e^−p, where p is measured in dollars. (a) At what price should the candy company LBE sell its bubblegum in order to maximize its revenue?(b) What is the maximum total revenue LBE can earn?
