The function p(x) = –2(x – 9)2 + 100 is used to determine the profit on T-shirts sold for x dollars. What would the profit from sales be if the price of the T-shirts were $15 apiece?
plug x =15 into the equation to get -2 (15-9)2+100
just type that into your calc
Answer:
The profit would be $ 28.
Step-by-step explanation:
The function that shows the profit on T-shirts sold for x dollars,
@@MATH_TOKEN_0@@
If x = 15 dollars,
The profit on T shirt sold on $ 15 would be,
\(p(15) = -2(15-9)^2+100\)
\(=-2(6)^2+100\)
\(=-72+100\)
\(=\$ 28\)
