Answer:

Jose's solution is not correct, the auditorium has 16 rows

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=2x^{2} -6x

where

f(x)------> is the total number of seats in the auditorium

x----> represents the number of rows

How many rows are there in the auditorium if it has a total of 416 seats?

so

Find the value of x for f(x)=416 seats

substitute the value of f(x) in the equation

416=2x^{2} -6x

2x^{2} -6x-416=0

Using a graphing calculator

The values of x are

x=-13, x=16

The solution is

x=16 rows because the number of rows can not be a negative number
