Here is our profit as a function of # of posters
p(x) =-10x² + 200x - 250
Here is our price per poster, as a function of the # of posters:
pr(x) = 20 - x
Since we want to find the optimum price and # of posters, let's plug our price function into our profit function, to find the optimum x, and then use that to find the optimum price:
p(x) = -10 (20-x)² + 200 (20 - x) - 250
p(x) = -10 (400 -40x + x²) + 4000 - 200x - 250
Take a look at our profit function. It is a normal trinomial square, with a negative sign on the squared term. This means the curve is a downward facing parabola, so our profit maximum will be the top of the curve.
By taking the derivative, we can find where p'(x) = 0 (where the slope of p(x) equals 0), to see where the top of profit function is.
p(x) = -4000 +400x -10x² + 4000 -200x -250
p'(x) = 400 - 20x -200
0 = 200 - 20x
20x = 200
x = 10
p'(x) = 0 at x=10. This is the peak of our profit function. To find the price per poster, plug x=10 into our price function:
price = 20 - x
price = 10
Now plug x=10 into our original profit function in order to find our maximum profit:

p(x) = -10 (10)</span>² +200 (10) - 250
<span>p(x) = -1000 + 2000 - 250
p(x) = 750

Answer:
y = -(x + 5)² + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The roots are -3 and -7, so:
y = a (x + 3) (x + 7)
Distribute and complete the square:
y = a (x² + 10x + 21)
y = a (x² + 10x + 25 − 4)
y = a (x² + 10x + 25) − 4a
y = a (x + 5)² − 4a
The vertex is (-5, 4), so a = -1.
y = -(x + 5)² + 4
Answer:
11, 12, 13
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the first number
(x + 1) is the second number
(x + 2) is the third number
x + x+1 + x+2 = 36
3x + 3 = 36
3x = 36 - 3
3x = 33
x = 11 ← the first number
the second number = x + 1 = 11 + 1 = 12
the third number = x + 2 = 11 + 2 = 13
