Tico’s Taco Truck is trying to determine the best price at which to sell tacos, the only item on the menu, to maximize profits. The taco truck’s owner decides to adjust the price per taco and record data on the number of tacos sold each day with each new price. When the taco truck charges $4 for a taco, it sells an average of 60 tacos in one day. With every $1 increase in the price of a taco, the number of tacos sold per day decreases by 7. The owner can calculate the daily revenue using the polynomial expression -7x2 + 32x + 240, where x is the number of $1 increases in the taco price. In this activity, you’ll interpret and manipulate this expression and the scenario it represents. Part D: What are some advantages of writing the polynomial expression -7x2 + 32x + 240 in factored form when interpreting this situation?

The constant term is 240. It represents the initial daily revenue.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Tico's Taco Truck is trying to determine the best price at which to sell tacos, the only item on the menu,  to maximize profits.

The owner can calculate the daily revenue using the polynomial  expression

where x is the number of $1 increases in the taco price.

Constant term does not contain any variable.

In the given expression 240 is free from variable x. So, the constant term is 240.

The value of expression is 240 for x=0. Since x is the number of $1 increases in the taco price, therefore 240 is the daily revenue when the taco price is not increased or the taco price increased by 0.

Therefore the constant term is 240 and it represents the initial daily revenue.

the system of inequity is

step-by-step explanation:

from the given graph it is noticed that we have two related lines. one is solid and another is dashed.

if a line passing through two points, then the equation of line is

the solid line passing through the points (0,4) and (4,0).

the related equation of solid line is .

similarly, find the related equation of dashed line. the dashed liune passing through the points (0,0) and (3,1).

the related equation of dashed line is

from the given graph it is noticed that the point (0,1) lies on the shaded region, therefore the point (0,1) must be satisfied by the related equations.

check the related equations by the point (0,1).

this statement is true if the sign of inequality is < instead of equality. since it is an solid line therefore the sign of inequality will be . the required inequality is

similarly, check the second related equation.

it is a dashed line, so this statement is true if the sign of inequality is > . the required inequality is
