First of all we will understand the question!!

The question is saying that you are given a function and you have to find the value of x which will give the maximum profit... Lets solve it by finding the extrema using the vertex

[tex] \rm \: p(x) = - 5 {x}^{2} + 30x + 8[/tex]

  • Identify the coefficients a and b of the quadratic function

[tex] \rm \: p(x) = { - 5x}^{2} + 30x + 8 \\ \rm \: a = - 5 \: and \: b \: = 30[/tex]

  • Since a<0, the function has the maximum value at x, calculated by substituting a and b into x=-b/2a

[tex] \rm \: x = \frac{30}{ 2 \times (- 5)} [/tex]

  • Solve the equation for x

[tex] \rm \: x = 3[/tex]

  • The maximum of the quadratic function is at x=3
