Question
Paramount Electronics has an annual profit given by
P = −100,000 + 5,000q − 0.25q2 dollars,
where q is the number of laptop computers it sells each year. The number of laptop computers it can make and sell each year depends on the number n of electrical engineers Paramount employs, according to the equation
q = 30n + 0.01n2.
Use the chain rule to find
dP
dn
   
n = 40
.
HINT [See Example 4.] (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
dP
dn
   
n = 40
 = 
Interpret the result.
At an employment level of engineers, Paramount will increase its profit at a rate of $ per additional engineer hired.
