1. **Problem statement:**
Given the demand function $P = 190 - 0.6x$ and total cost function $TC = 40 + 30x + 0.4x^2$, where $P$ is price per unit and $x$ is units produced and sold, find:
(i) Revenue function
(ii) Profit function
(iii) Number of units to maximize profit
(iv) Maximum profit
2. **Revenue function:**
Revenue $R$ is price times quantity sold:
$$R = P \times x = (190 - 0.6x) x = 190x - 0.6x^2$$
3. **Profit function:**
Profit $\pi$ is revenue minus total cost:
$$\pi = R - TC = (190x - 0.6x^2) - (40 + 30x + 0.4x^2)$$
Simplify:
$$\pi = 190x - 0.6x^2 - 40 - 30x - 0.4x^2 = (190x - 30x) - (0.6x^2 + 0.4x^2) - 40 = 160x - x^2 - 40$$
4. **Maximize profit:**
To find $x$ that maximizes profit, take derivative and set to zero:
$$\frac{d\pi}{dx} = 160 - 2x = 0$$
Solve for $x$:
$$2x = 160$$
$$x = \cancel{\frac{2x}{2}}^{\cancel{2}} = \cancel{\frac{160}{2}}^{\cancel{2}} = 80$$
5. **Maximum profit:**
Substitute $x=80$ into profit function:
$$\pi = 160(80) - (80)^2 - 40 = 12800 - 6400 - 40 = 6359$$
6. **Summary for part (a):**
(i) Revenue function: $R = 190x - 0.6x^2$
(ii) Profit function: $\pi = 160x - x^2 - 40$
(iii) Units to maximize profit: $x = 80$
(iv) Maximum profit: $6359$

7. **Part (b): Solve quadratic equation $x^2 - 7x + 10 = 0$**
Factor:
$$(x - 5)(x - 2) = 0$$
Solutions:
$$x = 5 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 2$$

8. **Part (c): Cost of machines**
Let cost of drilling machine be $d$, then lathe machine cost is $5d$.
Given:
$$2(5d) + 5d = 7500$$
Simplify:
$$10d + 5d = 7500$$
$$15d = 7500$$
$$d = \cancel{\frac{15d}{15}}^{\cancel{15}} = \cancel{\frac{7500}{15}}^{\cancel{15}} = 500$$
Lathe machine cost:
$$5d = 5 \times 500 = 2500$$

9. **Part (d): Solve for $q$ in**
$$\frac{q}{2} + \frac{q}{3} + 3 = 2 + \frac{q}{6}$$
Multiply both sides by 6 to clear denominators:
$$6 \times \left(\frac{q}{2} + \frac{q}{3} + 3\right) = 6 \times \left(2 + \frac{q}{6}\right)$$
$$3q + 2q + 18 = 12 + q$$
Combine like terms:
$$5q + 18 = 12 + q$$
Subtract $q$ from both sides:
$$5q - q + 18 = 12$$
$$4q + 18 = 12$$
Subtract 18:
$$4q = 12 - 18 = -6$$
Divide by 4:
$$q = \cancel{\frac{4q}{4}}^{\cancel{4}} = \cancel{\frac{-6}{4}}^{\cancel{2}} = -\frac{3}{2} = -1.5$$
