number of tickets sold for an upcoming performance of Handel's Messiah is given by N(x)=-0.4x^2+12+14, where x is the number of days since the first concert was announced.when will daily sales peak and how many tickets will be sold?
.
The peak sales will be the vertex (since the formula describes a parabola that opens downward).
.
Axis of symmetry:
x = -b/(2a) = -12/(2*(-0.4)) = 15 (days after announcement for peak sales)
.
N(x)=-0.4x^2+12x+14
N(15)=-0.4(15)^2+12(15)+14
N(15)= 104 (number of tickets sold at peak)
