I tried doing this..
x intercepts= -10 and 8, so (-10+8) /2= -1
But when I plugged -1 in for x and I came out with the minimum as -243, but that just seems to ridiculous as an answer..

Question 229242: Hello. I'm working on a question in Algebra 2 in quadratics. It says:
A store charges $2 for a one-day rental of a video cassette. On the average, 200 cassettes are rented from the store each day. If a survey indicates that the store's rentals will decrease by and average of 5 per day for each 10-cent increase in rental charge, what should the store charge to maximize its income?
I figured out that charging $2 and $4 was the same profit ($400 a day), so that means the answer is $3, but I need to show my work in a h(t)=-.5gt+vt+h, where V and H are sub 0. How does this problem fit into that formula?

Question 235864: x^2-4x-21=0
we must find Δ in oder to know in which conditions this equation must be solved.
Δ=((-b)^2-4*a*c)
(*)if Δ>0 this equation has 2 solutions x=(-bą√Δ)/2a.
(**)if Δ=0 this equation has only one solution x=-b/2a.
(***)if Δ<0 this equation must be solved by a transformation of Δ to a complex number.
if we apply Δ's formula:
Δ=(-(-4))^2-4*(-21)=100 then Δ>0 so we must refered to condition(*)in oder to solve this equation.
√Δ=10
this equation has 2 results x1,x2.
x1=(-(-4)-10)/2; x2=(-(-4)+10)/2
x1=-3;x2=7
