A) zeroes

P(n) = -250 n^2 + 2500n - 5250

Extract common factor:

P(n)= -250 (n^2 - 10n + 21)

Factor (find two numbers that sum -10 and its product is 21)

P(n) = -250(n - 3)(n - 7)

Zeroes ==> n - 3 = 0  or n -7 = 0
Then n = 3 and n = 7 are the zeros.

They rerpesent that if the promoter sells tickets at 3  or 7 dollars the profit is zero.

B) Maximum profit

Completion of squares

n^2 - 10n + 21 = n^2 - 10n + 25 - 4 = (n^2 - 10n+ 25) - 4 = (n - 5)^2 - 4

P(n) = - 250[(n-5)^2 -4] = -250(n-5)^2 + 1000

Maximum ==> - 250 (n - 5)^2 = 0 ==> n = 5 and P(5) = 1000

Maximum profit =1000 at n = 5

C) Axis of symmetry

Vertex = (h,k) when the equation is in the form A(n-h)^2 + k

Comparing A(n-h)^2 + k with - 250(n - 5)^2 + 1000

Vertex = (5, 1000) and the symmetry axis is n = 5.

For this problem what I did was that I multiplied 100 x 34 = 3,400 and subtracted that answer with 5,086. The answer I got was 1
inessss [21]

Answer:

The answer rounded to the nearest whole number is 1729

Step-by-step explanation:

Set it up like this:  Percent in fraction form = x over total

So:  34/100  = x/5086

You then multiply:   34 x 5086 = 172924

Then divided that number by 100:   172924 divided by 100 = 1729.24

Then round the number to the nearest whole number:   1729

Hope this helps good luck!

The "off-peak" weekly average cost of hiring a caravan in Wales is 520. In July the average cost increases to 800. calculate the
Artemon [7]
For this case you can solve the problem by applying a simple rule of three in which we have
 520 ---> 100%
 800 ---> x

 Clearing x we have
 x = (800/520) * 100 = 154%
 the percentage increase in cost was
 154-100 = 54%
 answer
 the percentage increase in cost was 54%
