7. Find a profit function P (x) satisfies the following conditions, where x denotes
number of units are produced and P (x) is a polynomial function: (a) the company
breaks even at x = 200,400 and 600 units (b) the profit function P (x) changes signs
(from P (x)> 0 to P (x)<0 or vise versa) at x = 400 but P (x) does not change sign
