Question 1121157: The number of tickets sold each day for an upcoming performance of Handel's Messiah is given by Upper N left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals negative 0.6 x squared plus 14.4 x plus 14, where x is the number of days since the concert was first announced. When will daily ticket sales peak and how many tickets will be sold that day?
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the formula looks like:
N(x) = -.6x^2 + 14.4x + 14
N is the function name.
x is the argument of the function.
the expression on the right is the formula of the function.
you could replace N(x) with y and the function would read:
y = -.6x^2 + 14.4x + 14
you can graph the equation in this form.
the graph would look like this:
you can see from the graph that the maximum value of y (also called N(x)) is 100.4 when x = 12.
this can also be found by formula.
the formula is x = -b/2a.
the equation has to be in standard form of y = ax^2 + bx + c.
it's already in that form.
y = -.6x^2 + 14.4x + 14 gets you:
a = -.6
b = 14.4
c = 14
x = -b/2a gets you x = 14.4 / -1.2
this results in x = 12.
when x = 12, the function of y = -.6x^2 + 14.4x + 14 becomes y = -.6 * 12^2 + 14.4 * 12 + 14 which becomes y = 100.4
when x is 12, y is 100.4
x represents the number of days since the concert was first announced.
y represents the number of tickets sold each day.
