AZ:

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

AZ:

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

AZ:

divide

klmjnmkj:

120
