Answer

There are 50 ovens must be manufactured in a given week to generate a profit of $1250.

Work Step by Step

$P=\frac{1}{10}x(300-x)=30x-\frac{1}{10}x^{2}$, $0\leq x \leq200$ $P=1250$ Then $30x-\frac{1}{10}x^{2}=1250$ $-\frac{1}{10}x^{2}+30x-1250=0$ $x=\frac{-30+\sqrt (30^{2}-4\times(-\frac{1}{10})\times(-1250)}{2\times(-\frac{1}{10})}=\frac{-30+\sqrt 400}{(-\frac{2}{10})}=50$ or $x=\frac{-30-\sqrt (30^{2}-4\times(-\frac{1}{10})\times(-1250)}{2\times(-\frac{1}{10})}=\frac{-30-\sqrt 400}{(-\frac{2}{10})}=250$ Because $0\leq x \leq200$, $x=50$ So there are 50 ovens must be manufactured in a given week to generate a profit of $1250.
