A property developer is planning to build houses on 4 acres of land. She estimates that if she builds 16 houses, the profit per house will be $400,000, and that each additional house she builds will reduce her profit per house by$10,000. The total profit P(n), in thousands of dollars, from making n houses, can be modelled by the function:

Code:
P(n)= 560n-10n^2

(a) How much profit will the developer make from making 9 houses according to this
model?
$4, 230, 000 (b) Find the roots of the equation P(n) = 0, and use these to find how many houses the developer should build for maximum profit. State the value of this profit. The roots are when n = 0 or 56 build 28 houses for maximum profit$7,840,000 is the value of the profit if the developer builds 28 houses

(c) What is a sensible practical domain for P(n)?
starts with n = 0 – can’t have negative number of houses and ends with n= 28 – as this is the maximum value of P(n), after this the profit starts decreasing.
Code:
0<= n <= 28
(d) The developer needs to make at least $6,800,000 (i.e.$6800 thousand) to invest in a block of land she wishes to purchase for her next development project. Find algebraically the roots of the equation P(n) = 6800, and use your answer to suggest how many houses she needs to build to gain this much profit.

Code:
 560n-10n^2 -6800 = 0

n = 17.80196097 or 38.19803903

She should build 38 houses to make at least $6,800,000 I'm sorry I didn't include my working, but its quiet difficult to type it all out. Any assistance with this would be great, thanks for looking 2.

if i get this right.. to make at least $6,800,000 she should build at least 18 houses, but not more than 38. 17 < houses built < 39 => at least$6,800,000
