what is
x(2160 - 9x)
can you multiply the x into the parenthesis?
AZ:
and remember to find the price, x, that gives the maximum revenue
it will just be -b/2a
klmjnmkj:
x(2151x)
AZ:
no, you cannot subtract 2160 and 9x
2160 is a number
9x is 9 times x
you need to multiply the x outside of the parenthesis inside
\(a(b-c) = ab - ac\)
x(2160-9x) = ??
klmjnmkj:
2160x - 9x^2

good and that can be re-written as
-9x^2 + 2160x
and the vertex is going to be the maximum and since we want to find the maximum x-value, that would be -b/2a
a here is -9
and b is 2160
so what is
-b/2a = ?
klmjnmkj:
-2160/2*-9x^2
klmjnmkj:
-2160/18x^2
AZ:
No...
I said a is -9
a is the coefficient in front of x^2
so -b/2a = -2160 / (2*-9) = ??
klmjnmkj:
-2160/-18
