Ticket Sales

Living in or near a metropolitan area has some advantages. Entertainment opportunities are almost endless in a major city. Events occur almost every night, from sporting events to the symphony. Tickets to these events are not available long and can often be modeled by quadratic equations.

Answer the following questions. Use Equation Editor to write mathematical expressions and equations.
Tickets = -0.2x^2+12x+11

1. Suppose you are an event coordinator for a large performance theater. One of the hottest new Broadway musicals has started to tour and your city is the first stop

anonymous · Answer

yes? whats the question?

anonymous · Answer

What do I substitute to solve the equation  fore each question

anonymous · Answer

read what your question says above and tell me what I am supposed to understand from that.

anonymous · Answer

Let me try to clarify Do  I substitute the number of tickets for tha variable x to find the solution

anonymous · Answer

I don't know what x is unless you tell me. the question is not presented in its entirety and makes no sense to me.

anonymous · Answer

For the above  here are the associated questoions  
a. Does the graph of this equation open up or down? How did you determine this? 
	
b. Describe what happens to the tickets sales as time passes. 

c. Use the quadratic equation to determine the last day that tickets will be sold. 

Note. Write your answer in terms of the number of days after ticket sales begin.
	
d. Will tickets peak or be at a low during the middle of the sale? How do you know? 
	
e. After how many days will the peak or low occur? 
	
f. How many tickets will be sold on the day when the peak or low occurs? 
	
g. What is the point of the vertex? How does this number relate to your answers in parts e. and f? 
	
h. How many solutions are there to the equation ? How do you know? 
	
i. What do the solutions represent? Is there a solution that does not make sense? If so, in what ways does the solution not make sense? 

does this make more senes?

anonymous · Answer

what is x? is it time or number of tickets or what?

anonymous · Answer

x= 1 the day a ticket  goes on sale

anonymous · Answer

then substitute x =1 and find the number of tickets.
