The table gives the marginal benefit and marginal cost of producing \(x\) units of a product for a given company. Plot the points in each column and use the regression feature of a graphing utility to find a linear model for marginal benefit and a quadratic model for marginal cost. Then use integration to find the benefit \(B\) and cost \(C\) equations. Assume \(B(0)=0\) and \(C(0)=425 .\) Finally, find the intervals in which the benefit exceeds the cost of producing \(x\) units, and make a recommendation for how many units the company should produce based on your findings.
