For the equation F(x) = ax² + bx + c we have:
- maximum value if a<0
- minimum value if a>0
F(x) = -3x² + 18x + 3 ⇒ a = -3, b = 18
a < 0 ⇒ the function has a maximum value
Quadratic function has the maximum value (or minimum) at vertex of its parabola.
The maximum value is k at x=h where: 
and k = F(h)
Therefore:
<h3>
The function has a maximum value of 30 at x = 3</h3>
Answer:
If Anne’s age is represented by the variable a then express Jenny’s age in terms of a if Jenny is three years less than half of Anne’s age
Answer:
it is 72
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<em>(a). P(x) = 8x - 112,000 </em>
<em> (b). $80,000 </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
(a). P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
P(x) = 50x - 112,000 - 42x
<em>P(x) = 8x - 112,000</em>
(b). P(24,000) = 8(24,000) - 112,000 = <em>80,000</em>
----------------------------------------
(a). <em>P(x) = 8x - 112,000</em>
You divide the area and the base
