Question 329394
The number of tickets sold each day for an upcoming performance of Handel's messiah is given by N(x)=-0.3x^2+6x+10, 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?
-------------------------------------
N(x)=-0.3x^2+6x+10
---
max occurs when x = -b/2a = -6/(2*-0.3) = -6/-0.6 = 10 (max sales on day 10)
---
N(10) = -0.3(10)^2+6*10+10 = 40 tickets will be sold on day 10
