Answer 2

For 240 number of tabletops the company make a profit of $0

Explanation:

The profit a company makes from producing x tabletops is modeled by:

P(x) = 480x – 2x²

For company to make a profit of $0

P(x)=0

⇒ 480x-2x²=0

⇒ 2x(240-x)=0

⇒ x=0 or x=240

x can't be zero hence x=240

Hence, for 240 number of tabletops the company make a profit of $0
