First step is to factor. With a polynomial function in the form ax² + bx + c = f(x), we have to find what factors of term C have a sum of term B.
So with this, we need factors of -90 add up to become -1. Your factors are - 10 and 9.
f(x) = x² + 9x - 10x - 90
Now we group together and pull out GCFs.
f(x) = (x² + 9x) + (10x - 90)
f(x) = x(x² + 9) - 10(x + 9)
f(x) = (x - 10)(x + 9)
Now, set each factor equal to zero.
x - 10 = 0, x + 9 = 0
For the first equation you are going to add 10 to both sides to get x by itself. Subtract 9 from both sides in the second equation for the same reason.
x = 10, x = -9
Your zeros are at x = -9, 10 or at the ordered pairs (-9, 0) and (10, 0).
To find the median, you order the numbers from least to greatest, then find the middle number.
3,7,3,2,7,9
2,3,3,7,7,9
There are two middle numbers, so we have to find the middle of the two.
3,4,5,6,7
5 is the median, so the answer is B.

No your supposed to do the math and cancel out each nunber until you find y
A) profit is 8$, the price increases 8$ every time or each pie is $4
B)N times 4= P
C) 15 times 4= $60 Profit. Because each pie is 4$
D) if 144$ are made and each pie is $4, you’d divide 144 by 4= 36. 36 Pies were sold.
I hope this is correct and helps :)
