\n" ); document.write( "Note:the vertex form of a parabola, \"y=a%28x-h%29%5E2+%2Bk\" where(h,k) is the vertex
\n" ); document.write( "N(x)= -0.4x^2+12x+11
\n" ); document.write( "N(x)=-0.4[x^2 -30x]+11
\n" ); document.write( "N(x)=-0.4[(x-15)^2 -225]+11
\n" ); document.write( "N(x)=-0.4[(x-15)^2 -225]+11
\n" ); document.write( "N(x)=-0.4(x-15)^2 +101 V(15,101) a = -.4 a<0, Parabola opens downward
\n" ); document.write( " V(15,101)is the Maximum Point. ticket sales peak on the 15th day with 101 sold
