What is the vertex of the quadratic function f(x)=(x-8)(x-2)?
1 answer:
Change the function into vertex form:
f(x)=x²-10x+16
make a square by (adding half of -10)², which is 25, then subtract it:
f(x)=x²-10x+25-25+16
f(x)=(x-5)²-9
so the vertex is at (5,-9)
another way to do it:
f(x)=x²-10x+16
the vertex is when x=-
, b=-10, a=1 in this case.
x=-(-10/2*1)=5
plug x=5 into the quadratic function, you get f(x)=-9
f(x)=x²-10x+16

Answer: $95
Step-by-step explanation:
Te new price will be 90 + 5x, if the price increases "x" times
The number of wind chimes sold per month will become 140 - 7x
Therefore, if the price becomes (90 + 5(1)) = $95 per wind chime, then the revenue will be maximum
