If C(x) = 16000 + 500x − 3.2x^2 + 0.004x^3
is the cost function and
p(x) = 2900 − 8x is the demand function, find the production level that will maximize profit. (Hint: If the profit is maximized, then the marginal revenue equals the marginal cost.) I have no idea hot to solve this, please help!

i put 100 for my answer and it was wrong though

You have to solve it with your own p(x) by imitating the steps on the page. NOT copy their answer.,
