Question

The average number of traffic tickets issued in a city on any given day

Answer 1

Answer:

The most tickets were written on Saturday .On Saturday 325 tickets were issued

Step-by-step explanation:

The average number of traffic tickets issued in a city on any given day  Sunday-Saturday  can be approximated by

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37$

Where  x represents the number of days after Sunday

T(x) represents the number of traffic tickets issued.

Sunday = x=0

Monday = x=1

Tuesday = x=2

Wednesday = x=3

Thursday = x =4

Friday = x=5

Saturday = x=6

Substitute  x= 0

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(0)^2 + 84(0) + 37\\T(x)=37$

On Sunday 37 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 1

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(1)^2 + 84(1) + 37\\T(x)=115$

On Monday 115 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 2

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(2)^2 + 84(2) + 37\\T(x)=181$

On Tuesday 181 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 3

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(3)^2 + 84(3) + 37\\T(x)=235$

On Wednesday 235 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 4

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(4)^2 + 84(4) + 37\\T(x)=277$

On Thursday 277 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 5

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(5)^2 + 84(5) + 37\\T(x)=307$

On Friday 307 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 6

$T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(6)^2 + 84(6) + 37\\T(x)=325$

On Saturday 325 tickets were issued

Hence the most tickets were written on Saturday .On Saturday 325 tickets were issued
