To achieve a positive profit p(x)>0, we start with:
Next, we solve for x:
The parameters are:
a = -2
b = 7
c = -3
We will apply the quadratic formula:
This yields two results—one a fraction, the other a whole number. We focus on the whole number since the muffins sold must be a complete unit. Thus we conclude:
x>3
