Answer:  

Here, the given function,

S(x) = 50 x - x ^2 ----- (1)

For the maximum value of s(x),

s'(x) = 0

Where s'(x) is the first derivative of S(x)

By differetiating equation (1) with respect to x,

We get,

S'(x)= 50 - 2x

⇒ For maximum value of S(x), s'(x) = 0

⇒  50 - 2x = 0

⇒ 2x = 50

⇒ x = $ 25

To estimate the price of box seats for the ticket office to have the greatest income, we derive the equation and equate the derivative to zero. 
                                    S = 50x - x²
Deriving,
                                dS = 50 - 2x = 0
The value of zero from the generated equation is 25. Thus, the company should sell tickets at approximately $25.

I need help understanding this. SO please help and give explanation
NikAS [45]
So my understanding from this you have to make it y = mx + b so m stands for the slope there’s different ways to find it as shown in the first picture. I’ll try to make another comment since this only lets me take one picture at a time.
