6.) the following function represents the profit P(n) in dollars that a concert promoter makes by selling tickets for n dollars

each:
P(n)=-250n^2+3,250n-9,000

Part A: What are the zeroes of the above function and what do they represent? Show your work.

Part B: Find the maximum profit by completing the square of the function P(n ). Show the steps of your work.

Part C: What is the axis of symmetry of the function P(n )?

For Part A, what to do first is to equate the given equation to zero in order to find your x intercepts (zeroes)

0=-250n^2+3,250n-9,000 after factoring out, we get

-250(n-4)(n-9) and these are your zero values.

For Part B, you need to square the function from the general equation Ax^2+Bx+C=0. So to do that, we use the equated form of the equation 0=-250n^2+3,250n-9,000 and in order to have a positive value of 250n^2, we divide both sides by -1

250n^2-3,250n+9,000=0

to simplify, we divide it by 250 to get n^2-13n+36=0 or n^2-13n = -36 (this form is easier in order to complete the square, ax^2+bx=c)

in squaring, we need to apply <span><span><span>(<span>b/2</span>)^2 to both sides where our b is -13 so,
(-13/2)^2 is 169/4

so the equation now becomes n^2-13n+169/4 = 25/4 or to simplify, we apply the concept of a perfect square binomial, so the equation turns out like this 

(n-13/2)^2 = 25/4 then to find the value of n, we apply the square root to both sides to obtain n-13/2 = 5/2 and n is 9. This gives us the confirmation from Part A. 

For Part C, since the function is a binomial so the graph is a parabola. The axis of symmetry would be x=5.

a grocery store sells snacks by weight .a six ounce bag of mixed nuts costs $3.60 . predict the cost of two ounce bag
erastova [34]
First you have to find out how much one cost.
In order to do that you have to divide 3.60/6. You would get 6. That is how much one cost. Then you have to multiply 6*2 and you would 12. So the answer is $12. I hope this helps

Loretta’s income last year was $81,300. She made $56,800 at her salaried job and had additional passive income. If Loretta earne
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Option a.  $2,040

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

To find out the amount of the additional passive income last year, subtract the amount earned at her salaried job from Loretta’s income last year

so

\$81,300-\$56,800=\$24,500

step 2

Divide the additional passive income last year by 12 (number of months in a year)

\$24,500/12=\$2,041.67

therefore

approximately $2,400 per month

Can someone please teach me how to add, subtract, multiply and divide negative numbers?
dedylja [7]
If both numbers are negative u add those up and ur answer will be a negative. so number one is negative 9.
if there is more positive ur answer will be a positive. so number 2 is 13.
number is more complicated so negative 3 +4 is 1 because u have more positive and u just subtract those then 1 minus 8 equals negative 7 and negative 7 minus 7 is 0. hope this helps
