A boy is selling lemonade throughout the hot summer. Suppose the number of cups sold is given by the function 2(x) = x2* + 2 where the price, x, in dollars determines the number of cups sold per day, n, in hundreds. What is the price that maximizes the number of cups sold? How many cups are sold at this price?
