Work Step by Step

$P(x)=360x-x^2$ $P(x)=-x^2+360x$ Since the graph opens downward, the vertex will have the highest point on the graph. $a=-1$, $b=360$, $c=0$ Vertex: $x=-b/2a$ $x=-360/2*-1$ $x=-360/-2$ $x=180$ 180 calendars $P(x)=360x-x^2$ $P(180)=360*180-180^2$ $P(180)=64800-32400$ $P(180)=32400$ 32,400 dollars
