Problema Solution
The profit made when t units are sold, t > 0, is given by P = t2 - 32t + 255. Determine the number of units to be sold in order for P = 0 (the break- even point).
Answer provided by our tutors
P = t^2 - 32t + 255
We need to find the non-negative solution for the quadratic equation: t^2 - 32t + 255 = 0

t1 = 15 units
t2 = 17 units
The break-even point happens for 15 units produced as well as for 17 units produced.
