A consultant advises a screen-printing business this is manufacturing t-shirts, and determines their profit, p, can be modeled by the function p(x)=-50x^2 + 3500x - 2500, where x is the cost they charge for a t-shirt.

a. How much profit would the business make if they charge $20 for a t-shirt? Do you think this is the best price?

b. what do the x-intercepts mean in this example? Are both of them relevant in the context of the problem?
