A store has an average of 5000 customers per week and sells chicken for $10 per chicken.
\n" ); document.write( "The owner knows that for each $2 increase, the number of customers decrease by 12
\n" ); document.write( "What function rule describes the increased price per chicken?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = no. of 12 chicken decreases in chickens sold
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "x = no. of $2 increases in the cost of each chicken
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = revenue from those chickens
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = (5000 - 12x)(10 + 2x)
\n" ); document.write( "FOIL
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = 50000 + 10000x - 120x - 24x^2
\n" ); document.write( "we can write this as
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = -24x^2 + 9880x + 50000 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
