Answer:
Number of ovens must be manufactured in a given week to generate a profit of $1610 is 70
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given
A small-appliance manufacturer finds that the profit P (in dollars) generated by producing x microwave ovens per week is given by the formula
[tex]P=\frac{1}{10}x(300-x)[/tex]
provided that 0 ≤ x ≤ 200
We are given
profit is $1610
so, we can set P=1610
and then we can solve for x
[tex]1610=\frac{1}{10}x(300-x)[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 10
[tex]1610\cdot \:10=\frac{1}{10}x\left(300-x\right)\cdot \:10[/tex]
[tex]16100=x\left(300-x\right)[/tex]
[tex]16100=300x-x^2[/tex]
[tex]-x^2+300x-16100=0[/tex]
now, we can factor it
[tex](x-70)(x-230)=0[/tex]
we can solve for x
and we get
[tex]x=70,x=230[/tex]
Since, x=230 does not lie on 0 ≤ x ≤ 200
So, we will consider only x=70
So,
Number of ovens must be manufactured in a given week to generate a profit of $1610 is 70
