Solve the equation exactly in the complex number system. -The profit function for a product is given by P(x)=0.3x3+75x22820x36,000P ( x ) = - 0.3 x ^ { 3 } + 75 x ^ { 2 } - 2820 x - 36,000 dollars, where x is the number of units produced and sold. If break-even occurs when 60 units are produced and sold, use synthetic division To find a quadratic factor of P(x) and then find a number of units other than 60 that gives break-even for the Product.
