A certain company's main source of income is selling socks. The company's annual profit (in millions of dollars) as a function o
2 answers:
A quadratic function models the profit of the company and the maximum/minimum value of the quadratic function occurs on its vertex.
The given function is:
The equation is already in standard form, the vertex of the parabola as seen from the equation is (5,12)
This mean if the company sets the price of socks to $5 they will earn a maximum profit which is $ 12 million

Ans(a):
Given function is
we know that any rational function is not defined when denominator is 0 so that means denominator x+4 can't be 0
so let's solve
x+4≠0 for x
x≠0-4
x≠-4
Hence at x=4, function can't have solution.
Ans(b):
We know that vertical shift occurs when we add something on the right side of function so vertical shift by 4 units means add 4 to f(x)
so we get:
g(x)=f(x)+4
We may simplify this equation but that is not compulsory.
Comparision:
Graph of g(x) will be just 4 unit upward than graph of f(x).
Ans(c):
To find value of x when g(x)=8, just plug g(x)=8 in previous equation
4x-3x=-1-16
x=-17
Hence final answer is x=-17
