Noah has a summer tree-trimming business. Based on experience, Noah knows that his profit, P, in dollars, can be modelled by = −3x^2 + 150 − 1200, where x is the amount he charges per tree.

1. How much does he need to charge if he wants to break even?
2. How much does he need to charge if he wants to make a profit of $600?

Respuesta :

He need to charge 24$ per tree if he wants to make a profit of $600.

According to statement

Noah knows that his profit, P, in dollars, are P= −3x^2 + 150 − 1200.

Now, we find the value of x when the profit is $600

Where X represent the Amount he charges per tree.

The given equation is P= −3x^2 + 150 − 1200.

Substitute the value of p is $600 in the above written equation

Then

600 = −3x^2 + 150 − 1200.

After solving the equation by a substitution method the value of X becomes

600+1200-150 = -3(x)^2

x = (1650/3)^1/2

x= 24$

it means the charge per tree is 24$.

So, He need to charge 24$ per tree if he wants to make a profit of $600.
