the number of mosquitoes in minneapolis, minnesota (in millions of mosquitoes) as a function of rainfall (in
centimeters) is modeled by:
m(x) = -(x – 5)2 + 25
what is the maximum possible number of mosquitoes?
million mosquitoes
show calculator

The maximum possible number of mosquitoes is 25 millions

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

m(x) -----> the number of mosquitoes in Minneapolis, Minnesota (in millions of mosquitoes)

x ----> the rainfall in centimeters

we have

This is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open downward

The vertex is the maximum

we know that

The maximum possible number of mosquitoes is equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex

Find out the coordinate of the vertex

The general equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is equal to

where

a is a coefficient

(h,k) is the vertex

so

In this problem

a=-1 (open downward)

(h,k)=(5,25)

The y-coordinate is 25

therefore

The maximum possible number of mosquitoes is 25 millions

the radius is 2 times the diameter.
