Systems of Nonlinear Equations and Inequalities: Two Variables · Exercise 60

Construct a system of nonlinear equations to describe the given behavior, then solve for the requested solutions.

A laptop company has discovered their cost and revenue functions for each day: $C (x) = 3 x^{2} - 10 x + 200$ and $R (x) = - 2 x^{2} + 100 x + 50.$ If they want to make a profit, what is the range of laptops per day that they should produce? Round to the nearest number which would generate profit.
