Chapter 6.4, Problem 32E
In Exercises 31–36, use synthetic division and factoring to solve the problems.
32. Break-Even The profit function, in dollars, for a product is given by P(x) = − x3 + 98x2 − 700x − 1800, where x is the number of units produced and sold. If break-even occurs when 10 units are produced and sold,
- a. Use synthetic division to find a quadratic factor of P(x).
- b. Find a number of units other than 10 that gives break-even for the product, and verify your answer graphically.
