Answer:

208.333

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic model for a certain stock on Wall Street is given by :

[tex]P=-3d^2+50d[/tex] ...(1)

(a) We need to find the maximum price per share of the stock. For maximum value, put :

[tex]\dfrac{dP}{dd}=0[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{d(-3d^2+50d)}{dd}=0\\\\-6d+50=0\\\\d=\dfrac{50}{6}\\\\d=8.34[/tex]

price per share of the stock is maximum when the value of d = 8.34. Put the value of d in equation (1).

[tex]P=-3(8.34)^2+50(8.34)\\\\P=208.333[/tex]

So, the maximum price per share of the stock is 208.333.
