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.
To solve for the slope given two lines, use the formula:
(y₂ - y₁)
----------
(x₂ - x₁)
Set one of the points as (x₁, y₁), and the other as (x₂, y₂).
(x₁, y₁) = <span>(0,32)
</span>(x₂, y₂) <span>= (100,212)
plug into corresponding places:
</span>(y₂ - y₁) (212 - 32) (180)
---------- = -------------- = -------
(x₂ - x₁) (100 - 0) (100)
180/100 is your slope
If you want simplified, it will be: 9/5

Answer:
B. $7.04
Step-by-step explanation:
5.28 / 3 = 1.76
1.76 x 4 = 7.04
If the length of a uniform pipe is 45 pounds, then the 18 pound piece is 18/45 the length of the pipe. If 18/45 of the length of the pipe is equal to 3 feet, then we can set up the equation:
(18/45)x = 3ft
Where x is the total length of the pipe. Solving for x:
<span>(18/45)x = 3ft
</span>18x = 135
x = 7.5 feet
We now know that the total length of the pipe before being cut is 7.5 feet. Since the first piece was 3 feet, we know that the second piece must be 4.5 feet (7.5 - 3).
Answer: 4.5 feet
