Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring

Question 4 • [INMT3] Integrated Math 3 Sem 1 (26-27)

The profit a company makes from producing x tabletops is modeled by the equation P(x) = 480x – 2x2. For what number of tabletops does the company make a profit of $0?

Answer
A
100 tabletops
B
120 tabletops
C
240 tabletops
D
480 tabletops

Explanation

Set the profit equal to $0: 480x − 2x² = 0. Factoring gives 2x(240 − x) = 0, so x = 0 or x = 240. Of the choices, 240 tabletops gives a profit of $0.
