For a parabola if
a) Squared term is x
Parabola either opens up or down.
Positive coefficient means upward opening and negative coefficient means downward opening
b) Squared term is y
Parabola either opens right or left
Positive coefficient means rightwards opening and negative coefficient means leftwards opening
In the given question, since the squared term is y and coefficient is negative, the parabola will open towards left.
So correct answer is option B
The ticket price which will maximize the student's council is: C. $3.10.
<h3>What is price?</h3>
Price can be defined as an amount of money which is primarily set by the seller of a product, and it must be paid by a buyer to the seller, so as to enable the acquisition of this product.
Based on the information provided about Valley High School student council, we can logically deduce the following data:
- Total number of students = 420 students.
- Lowest ticket price = $2.00.
- Increase in ticket price = $0.20.
- Attendance = 20 fewer students
<h3>How to determine the ticket price?</h3>
Mathematically, the equation which model the profit is given by:
Profit = price × number of tickets sold
P(x) = (2 + 0.2x)(420 - 20x)
P(x) = 840 + 84x - 40x - 4x²
P(x) = -4x² + 44x + 840.
For any quadratic equation with a parabolic curve, the axis of symmetry is given by:
Xmax = -b/2a
Xmax = -44/2(-4)
Xmax = -44/-8.
Xmax = 5.5
Ticket price for maximum profit is given by:
Ticket price = 2 + 0.2x
Ticket price = 2 + 0.2(5.5)
Ticket price = $3.10.
