ok i have five parts of a world problem i am working on is anyone willing to work through it and help me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im not too awesome at them but I can try to help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ill post the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

MS word is launching

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the red is what you've solved

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or should i say what i think ive solvelol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha well there are a couple pieces of info that are missing for example days sold

OpenStudy (anonymous):

man I wish i had my old math book infront me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let see what wolframalpha says

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you got x=60 for the low so you plug in 60 into the equation and you should get your answer for how many tickets will be sold on the low

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same with the high

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are 2 solutions to the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because of the quadratic equation only produces 2 answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well correction one answer is probably negative so it would not work correctly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats really all i remember

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the equation is this where i would divide 60 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=60 you stated that for the low and stated it peaks at x=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all you need to do is plug in x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

most people dont realize that they can use that aspect of basic algebra in the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its still so confusing to me ive been working this problem for over a week and still not done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for example if i were to give you the equation 2= 2x+1 and gave you x=1/2 you would just plug in the 1/2 instead of solving it correct? its the same concept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i hated intermediate algebra didnt do well in it but im a regular genius in trig

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i put in 60 for x and follow order of operation and that will be the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[0.2(60)^{2}+12(60)+11\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im hoping i does give a 0 though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it shouldnt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-12+720+11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont forget the negative!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1451?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was a positive or does the sign change

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the equation was -.2x^2+12x+11 correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you shouldve gotten 721 as an answer for the low if it is 60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[0.2x ^{2}+12x+11\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the original equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why is it negative in the document?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is my fault

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the only problem with your work is that you are suppose to end up with less with the low then the high you end up with 22.8 on the high

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or 23.2 with that new equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then which one is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and when i use the quadratic equation im getting -.903 and 60.903

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so are you saying everything i have so far is wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the low is on the first day and the high is on the last day it seems

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the 721 is also wrong then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that your high is what imsaying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so 721 is the high

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes and 22.8 is the low based on the equation -.2x^2+12x+11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do we know how to get the point of vertex?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

needs to be a vertex form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh now im lost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i hate this stuff
