Explanation Given: The daily profit P in dollars of Pine Tree Picnic Tables in the summer months is described by the function: P ( x ) = − 5 x 2 + 300 x − 4000 where x is the number of tables that are manufactured in one day. Formula used: Zero product property: If a ⋅ b = 0 , then a = 0 , or b = 0 , or a and b both equals to zero. Calculation: Consider the provided profit function: P ( x ) = − 5 x 2 + 300 x − 4000 Substitute P ( x ) = 0 in the above function and solve for x
