Enter the constant term and coefficients of the demand function.
Enter the values of a, b, and c for the cost function (a must be a nonzero, positive number).
Negative production quantities and supply prices are not supported.
Depending on the problem conditions, the program may not produce an output.

In this problem, we will calculate the loss of welfare (deadweight loss) for a scenario in which a certain good is supplied by a monopoly.
Assume that the demand curve is a downward-sloping straight line (limited to the first quadrant).
Let the demand function be of the form D = n + mP (where n is positive and m is negative).
Consider a quadratic function as the cost function for the monopolist. The form is C = aQ² + bQ + c.
