Question

Suppose that a video game company's profits on a new game are calculated using the equation below, where n is the number of games sold.

P=n^2-2500n-500000

What will the company's profit be if 5000 games are sold in two weeks?

Answer 1

You have an equation for profit as a function of games sold so we just need to plug in n=5000.

P=5000^2-2500*5000-500000
