You are interviewing an applicant for a sales agent position in your company. Based on the company’s record, almost every compan
y sales agent makes a total revenue of 150x-x² pesos for selling x products in a week. If the applicant confidently assures you that he/she can easily make ₱10,000 weekly revenue, how many products should he/she sell to meet this quota?
Using the revenue model for most company sales agents y = 150x - x^2, and the weekly revenue of $10,000 assured by the applicant, you get:
150x - x^2 = 10,000
From which you can solve for x:
x^2 - 150x + 10,000 = 0
When you use the quadratic equation you find that the equation does not have real solution driving to the conclusion that the agent is not tellling the true.
First, solve for slope. Formula for slope: Plug in values: Slope: Second, we must plug into point-slope form. Formula for point-slope: Plug in the values hope this helps
