Part A . Break-Even Revenue .

1. Cubic Functions :
The weekly profit for a product is P ( x ) = −0.1x 3 + 12 x 2 − 85 x − 2004
( thousand dollars ) , where x is the number of thousand of units
produced and sold . To find the number of units that gives break-even :
a. Graph the profit function and find x-intercepts of the graph .
b. Determine the levels of production that give break-even .

2. Cubic Functions :

a. Graph the profit function and find x-intercepts of the graph .
b. Determine the levels of production that give break-even .

3. Cubic Functions :

a. Graph the profit function and find x-intercepts of the graph .
b. Determine the levels of production that give break-even .

4. Cubic Functions :

( thousand dollars ) , where x is the number of thousand of units
produced and sold . To find the number of units that gives break-even :
a. Graph the profit function and find x-intercepts of the graph .
b. Determine the levels of production that give break-even .

8. Cubic Functions :
The weekly profit for a product is P ( x ) = −0.1x 3 + 12 x 2 − 82 x − 2003
