The function f(x) = –x2 + 20x – 75 models the profit from one customer, in dollars, a shop makes for printing photos, where x is

the number of photos printed, and f(x) is the amount of profit.
Part A: Determine the vertex. What does this calculation mean in the context of the problem? (5 points)

Part B: Determine the x-intercepts. What do these values mean in the context of the problem? (5 points)

The function is graphed as shown below

Part A:

We use the formula - \frac{b}{2a} to find the vertex of the function. A quadratic function of the form of a x^{2} +bx+c and equating this form to the given function - x^{2} +20x-75, we have
b=20 and a=-1.

Substituting a and b into the vertex formula, we have
x=- \frac{20}{2(-1)}=10, as shown in the graph

This calculation means that the highest profit is achieved when the number of photo printed equals to ten photos

Part B:

We can find solution to this equation by factorising

- x^{2} +20x-75=0
-( x^{2} -20x+75)=0
x^{2} -20x+75=0
(x-5)(x-15)=0
x=5 and x=15, as shown in the graph

The two values means that the company makes no profit when they either produce 5 or 15 photos

Approximate: log5 4/7
Evgesh-ka [11]
   Properties of Logs

logb(x/y) = log<span>bx</span> - log<span>by</span>.

therefore

log5 (4/7)= log5 (4)- log5 (7)

<span>Solve log 5 (4) and log 5 (7)  with the base change of the logarithm</span>

<span>log 5 4 = log 4 / log 5 </span>

 Use the calculator: 

<span> <span>log 5 4 =0.8613531161 </span></span>

 log 5 7 = log 7 / log 5 

<span>log 5 7 =1.2090619551</span>

<span>log5 (4/7)= log5 (4)- log5 (7)=-0.347708839</span>
