A firm produced two types of television x of type A and y of type B per year (in thousands). If the revenue and cost equations for the year are (in million dollars) R(x, y) = 3x+6y C(x, y) = x2 + y2-3x-2y-8 Determine how many of each type of television should be produced per year to maximize profit? What is the maximum profit?
