Read the following scenario, which is represented by a polynomial expression. Then answer the questions to interpret the parts o

f the expression in terms of the given context.
The volunteers at a high school football team’s concession stand are trying to decide on the price of the hot dogs they are selling. When they charge $2 for a hot dog, they sell an average of 70 hot dogs per game. With every $1 increase in the price, the number of hot dogs sold per game decreases by 8.

The volunteers can calculate the revenue earned from selling the hot dogs at each game using the expression -8x2 + 54x + 140, where x is the number of $1 increases in price.

Part A

Answer:

x is the number of $1 increase in the price.

If there is no increase, then the total money earned is

2 × 70 = 140

If there is $1 increase, then the total money earned is

(2 + 1) × [70 - 8(1)]

If there is $2 increase, then the total money earned is

(2 + 2) × [70 - 8(2)]

If we continue the pattern, for x times $1 increase, total money earned is

(2 + x)(70 - 8x) = -8x^{2} +54x+140−8x2+54x+140

If we substitute x = 0 in the above equation, we will get

the total money earned = $140.

It means if there is no increase, then the total money earned = 140.

Hence, 140 is the constant term and it represents that there is no increase in price.

SUMMARY: how can you use mapping rules to find rotations of objects at 90, 180, and 270 degrees?
Levart [38]

A rotation is an isometric transformation that turns every point of a figure through a specified angle and direction about a fixed point.

To describe a rotation, you need three things:

Direction (clockwise CW or counterclockwise CCW)

Angle in degrees

Center point of rotation (turn about what point?)

The most common rotations are 180° or 90° turns, and occasionally, 270° turns, about the origin, and affect each point of a figure as follows:
