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.
Answer:
6 items are being purchased
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that variable p represents the number of items being purchased, and the variable t represents the time required to ring up the customer, If it takes 44 seconds to ring up a customer then the number of items being purchased may be computed by substituting the value of t into the given equation
t = 4p + 20.
Using t = 44
44 = 4p + 20
collect like terms or subtract 20 from both sides
44 - 20 = 4p
24 = 4p
Divide both sides by 4
24/4 = p
p = 6
The greatest factor of 60 and 75 is 15.
Reasoning: I found the factors and prime factorization of 60 and 75. The biggest common factor number is the GCF number. So the greatest common factor 60 and 75 is 15.
