PERFORMANCE 2

Direction: Write your answer in a clean sheet of intermediate paper.

Situation: Yang’s Construction and Hardware Supply founded by Andrew Yang in 1979 has
catered different excellent quality of construction materials has made known all over
the entire province. Its average monthly profit, P in pesos, can be modelled by
function 𝑃(𝑥) = 𝑥 4 + 5𝑥 3 − 2𝑥 2 − 24𝑥, where 𝑥 represents the number of customers.
The target profit of Mr Yang for the month of April is at least ₱ 940,000.00.
Is this possible if 𝑥 = 30?
