The function f(x) = -x2 + 40x - 336 models the daily profit, in dollars, a shop makes for selling donut combos, where x is the number of combos sold and f(x) is the amount of profit.
Part A: Determine the vertex. What does this calculation mean in the context of the problem? Show
the work that leads to the answer. (5 points)
Part B: Determine the x-intercepts. What do these values mean in the context of the problem? Show
the work that leads to the answer. (5 points)
(10 points)

This question should be worth atleast 20 points

Step-by-step explanation:

a. For the vertex, input the funtion into the calculator, and see where the turning piont is, that is the vertex.

b. Solve using this vormula.

x= (-b ±)/2a

you will get two asnwrs, both are correct.

the above table 1 will calculate the population size (n) after a certain length of time (t). all you need to do is plug in the initial population number (no), the growth rate (r) and the length of time (t). the constant (e) is already entered into the equation. it stands for the base of the natural logarithms (approximately 2.71828). growth rate (r) and time (t) must be expressed in the same unit of time, such as years, days, hours or minutes. for humans, population growth rate is based on one year. if a population of people grew from 1000 to 1040 in one year, then the percent increase or annual growth rate is 40/1000 x 100 = 4 percent.
