Kevin operates a movie theater that sells about 800 tickets per day for $8 each. kevin predicts that for each $0.50 increase in the ticket price, 40 fewer tickets will be sold. let x represent the number of $0.50 price increases and f(x) represent the total earnings from ticket sales.
kevin wants to determine the best potential earnings from ticket sales each day.
complete the following statement for this situation.
the function reveals that the earnings from ticket sales will be $ after $0.50 price increases.

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

what is the graph
