Profit: The weekly profit P for a widget producer is a function of the number n of widgets sold. The formula is
P = −2 + 2.9n − 0.3n2 .
Here P is measured in thousands of dollars, n is measured in thousands of widgets, and the formula is valid up to a level of 7 thousand widgets sold.
a. Make a graph of P versus n.
b. Calculate P (0) and explain in practical terms what your answer means.
c. At what sales level is the profit as large as possible?
