<h3>
Answer: -19, -15, -9, -1, 9 (choice A)</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
If we plug in x = -2, then we get,
y = x^2 + 7x - 9
y = (-2)^2 + 7(-2) - 9
y = 4 - 14 - 9
y = -10 - 9
y = -19
So x = -2 leads to y = -19. The answer is between A and D.
---------
If you repeat those steps for x = -1, then you should get y = -15
Then x = 0 leads to y = -9
x = 1 leads to y = -1
Finally, x = 2 leads to y = 9
The outputs we get are: -19, -15, -9, -1, 9 which is choice A
Choice D is fairly close, but we won't have a second copy of -15, and we don't have an output of -19.
For question number 1:The plot H = H(t) is the parabola and it reaches its maximum in the moment when exactly at midpoint between the roots t = 0 and t = 23. At that moment t = 23/2 or 11.5 seconds.
For question number 2:To find the maximal height, just simply substitute t = 11.5 into the quadratic equation. The answer would be 22.9.
For question number 3:H(t) = 0, or, which is the same as -16t^2 + 368t = 0.Factor the left side to get -16*t*(t - 23) = 0.t = 0, relates to the very start of the process, when the ash started its way up.The other root is t = 23 seconds, and it is precisely the time moment when the bit of ash will go back to the ground.
We are given that revenue of Tacos is given by the mathematical expression 
.
(A) The constant term in this revenue function is 240 and it represents the revenue when price per Taco is $4. That is, 240 dollars is the revenue without making any incremental increase in the price.
(B) Let us factor the given revenue expression.
Therefore, correct option for part (B) is the third option.
(C) The factor (-7x+60) represents the number of Tacos sold per day after increasing the price x times. Factor (4+x) represents the new price after making x increments of 1 dollar.
(D) Writing the polynomial in factored form gives us the expression for new price as well as the expression for number of Tacos sold per day after making x increments of 1 dollar to the price.
(E) The table is attached.
Since revenue is maximum when price is 6 dollars. Therefore, optimal price is 6 dollars.
