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.

Find all the zeros of the equation
lapo4ka [179]

Divide both sides by -3, and replace x^2 with y. Then

-3x^4+27x^2+1200=0\iff y^2-9y-400=0

Factorize the quadratic in y to get

y^2-9y-400=(y+16)(y-25)=0\implies y=-16,y=25

which in turn means

x^2=-16,x^2=25

But x^2\ge0 for all real x, so we can ignore the first solution. This leaves us with

x^2=25\implies x=\pm\sqrt{25}=\pm5

If we allow for any complex solution, then we can continue with the solution we ignored:

x^2=-16\implies x=\pm\sqrt{-16}=\pm i\sqrt{16}=\pm4i
