You can put this solution on YOUR website! the number of tickets sold each day for an upcoming performance of Handel's Messiah is given by N(x)=-0.4x^2+12x +15, 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?
------------
Max occurs at x = -b/(2a) = -12/(-0.8) = 15
---
f(15) = -0.4(15)^2 + 12(15) + 15 = 186 (max # of tickets sold)
