A factory finds that it's daily profit, y dollars, is related to x, the number of items it produces daily where y = -x^2 + 90x.
\n" ); document.write( "a) Draw the graph of y = -x^2 + 90x.
\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28300%2C300%2C-20%2C100%2C-2500%2C2500%2C%28-x%5E2%2B90x%29%29\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) Use this graph to find\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i) the number of items the factory must produce daily in order to maximize profit,
\n" ); document.write( "At x = 45 it peaks and then drops.The maximum it should produce is 45 items.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Firstly you know that it is a parabola.
\n" ); document.write( "the co-efficient of x^2=- so the parabola opens downwards.
\n" ); document.write( "for y = 0 you have 2 values of x.
\n" ); document.write( "y =-x^2 +90x
\n" ); document.write( "y=-x(x-90)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "x= 0 & x=90
\n" ); document.write( "you have two points (0,0) & (0,90)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "find the vertex
\n" ); document.write( "x co-ordinate = -b/2a in the equation ax^2+bx +c
\n" ); document.write( "x co-ordinate= -90/-2
\n" ); document.write( "x co-ordinate = 45
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "when you put the equation in (x-h)^2 +k
\n" ); document.write( "you get the value of k which is the y co-ordinate of the vertex.
\n" ); document.write( "y= (-x^2+90x) -45^2 +45^2
\n" ); document.write( "y=-1(x^2-90x+45^2) +45^2
\n" ); document.write( "y=-1(x-45)^2+2025
\n" ); document.write( "vertex = (45,2025)
\n" ); document.write( "The y value when production = 45 units is 2025 . The maximum profit.
\n" ); document.write( "You have three values including vertex.
\n" ); document.write( "plot a few points with x <45 & > 45 . Find y co-ordinates . draw the curve.
\n" ); document.write( "Generally students use a graphic calculator to get the points.
\n" ); document.write( "(0,0) & (0,90) (45,2025)
