Asked by Carly
A manufacturer has determined that if it sets the price of paper at x dollars per ream, then its monthly profit can be represented by the equation P = (6000 - 400x)(x - 2).
Determine the y-intercept - I multiplied it out and found that the y-intercept was (0, -12,000)
Then it says: Determine the x-intercepts and explain what they mean. I have the answers and they say the x-intercepts are (2,0) and (15,0) I understand the (2,0) from the (x - 2), however, where did the (15,0) come from? This I do not understand.
Thanks for your help.
