Question

Bob's Skate Shop had a profit of $3,563 during the month of August. The company models its profit using P=x^2+10x-12

Answer 1

$x^2+10x-12 =3563 \\ x^2+10x-12 -3563=0 \\ x^2+10x-3575=0 \\ D=b^2-4ac=10^2-4*1*(-3575)=100+14300=14400 \\ x_{1,2}= \frac{-bб \sqrt{D} }{2a}= \frac{-10б \sqrt{14400} }{2}= \frac{-10б 120 }{2} \\ x_1= -65 \ \ \ \O \\ x_2=55$

The company sold 55 skateboards.
