the selling price of each widget, x, by the given equation. Using this equation, find out
the maximum amount of profit the company can make, to the nearest dollar.

Answer 2

Explanation:

y=-23x^2+1317x-10749

dy/dx=-64x+1317, d2y/d2x=-64, since d2y=-65, a global max occurs when dy/dx=0

-64x+1317=0, x=1317/64=20.578125

y(20.578125)=$6612.83
