help graphing

Dan Owns a burger stand. His profit is represented with P(x)= -2x squared + 352x -15000, with p being profits and x the number of burgers sold. How many burgers must he sell to earn the most profit? What will this maximum profit be?

I dont know how to even start it.

You need to find the coordinates of the turning point of this quadratic function. Then:

The number of burgers is given by the x-coordinate of the turning point and the maximum profit by the P-coordinate.
