Question 1203027
.
The effectiveness of a television commercial depends on how many times a viewer watches it.
After some experiments, an advertising agency found that if the effectiveness E 
is measured on a scale of 0 to 10, then E(n)=2/3×n-1/90×n^2, where n is the number 
of times a viewer watches a given commercial.
By completing the square of E(n), find how many times a viewer should watch 
the commercial for a commercial to have maximum effectiveness?

        For this problem, @MathLover1 in her post responded first using  Calculus, 
        which is irrelevant to the request.


        Then she announced that she is going to complete the square, 
        but that part of her post is incorrect or unreadable,  at all.


        By knowing empirically that it is impossible to get an adequate answer from this woman, 
        I came to make the job in a way how it SHOULD be done.



<pre>
E(n) = {{{(2/3)*n - (1/90)*n^2}}}          write everything with the common denominator {{{1/90}}} 

     = {{{(60/90)*n - (1/90)*n^2}}}         take the factor {{{-(1/90)}}} out of parentheses  

     = {{{-(1/90)*(n^2-60n)}}}         transform equivalently  

     = {{{-(1/90)*(n^2-2*30n+900)}}} + {{{(1/90)*900}}} = {{{-(1/90)*(n-30)^2}}} + 10.


Thus completing the square is done.


The term {{{-(1/90)*(n-30)^2}}} is the parabola opened downward.
The addend 10 shifts the parabola 10 units vertically up.

The maximum of 10 is achieved at n = 30.      <U>ANSWER</U>

Solved.
