A furniture manufacturer estimates that the weekly cost of manufacturing x units of a particular type of office chair is C(x)=x3-3x2-80x+500 reais. Knowing that each chair is sold at $ 280 and assuming that the entire production is sold, what must be the weekly production of this type of chair so that the manufacturer's profit is maximum?

In the following exercises, solve. Round answers to the nearest tenth. 286. A veterinarian is enclosing a rectangular outdoor running area against his building for the dogs he cares for. He needs to maximize the area using 100 feet of fencing. The quadratic function A(x)=x(1002x) gives the area, A, of the dog run for the length, x, of the building that will border the dog run. Find the length of the building that should border the dog run to give the maximum area, and then find the maximum area of the dog run.
