Once this value is determined, they can use it as a baseline to predict future output levels that will enhance business longevity in the long run. They realize this is not a perfect science, but in a world of uncertainty based on probabilistic outcomes, this exercise will give them confidence they are headed in the right direction. The function is below along with some possible graphs to match. Choose the correct answer below. n=-30 + 200q - 5q² where it profit and q = output =
