Check the picture below.

\bf \textit{ vertex of a vertical parabola, using coefficients}\\\\
\begin{array}{lccclll}
P(x) = &{{ -0.05}}x^2&{{ +500}}x&{{ -100000}}\\
&\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\
&a&b&c
\end{array}\qquad 
\left(-\cfrac{{{ b}}}{2{{ a}}}\quad ,\quad  {{ c}}-\cfrac{{{ b}}^2}{4{{ a}}}\right)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{so }-\cfrac{b}{2a}\textit{ units maximize the profit, and}\\\\\\
c-\cfrac{b^2}{4a}\textit{ dollars is the maximum profit}

Leona [35]
Finance charge is a fee that represents the cost of borrowing or credit.
In this equation, it shows the total amount paid through credit subtracted by the cost of vehicle.
let x be the finance charge

x = $4,100 + 36 months ($251.34/month) - <span>$11,578 
</span>x = $4,100 + $9,048.24 - <span>$11,578 </span>
x = ($4,100 + $9,048.24) - $11,578
x = $13,148.24 - $11,578 
x = $1,570.24.
The finance charge is $1,570.24
