Transcribed Image Text:(b) What unit price should the manufacturer charge to maximize profit? (Be sure to show that you have found a maximum.)
(a) Choose the function that expresses the manufacturer's profit (in simplified form).
• P(z) = -100z² + 2500x – 10000
P(x) = -100r² + 2500x – 5000
• P(x) = -100x² + 2000x – 10000
• P(x) = -50x² + 2500x – 10000
