The value of x in which profit can be maximized is -43.67
Given:
C = 0.6x² + 0.52x + 3200
R = 100x
The profit maximizing value of x = R - C
= 100x - (0.6x² + 0.52x + 3200)
= 100x - 0.6x² - 0.52x - 3200
= 0.6x² + 99.48x - 3200
x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a
= 99.48 ± √99.48² - 4×0.6×-3200
= -99.48 ± √9,896.2704 - 7680 / 1.2
= -99.48 ± √2,216.2704 / 1.2
= -99.48 ± 47.08 / 1.2
x = -99.48 + 47.08 / 1.2
or = -99.48 - 47.08 / 1.2
x = -52.4/1.2 or -146.56 / 1.2
x = -43.67 or -122.13
Therefore, the value of x is -43.67
