Martha bakes and sells her own organic dog treats for \$15/kg
. For every \$1
price increase, she will lose sales. Her revenue, R
, in dollars, can be modelled by y = -10x^2 + 100x + 3750
, where x
is the number of \$1
increases. What selling price will maximize her revenue?
For his costume party, Byron hung a spider from a spring that was attached to the ceiling at one end. Fern hit the spider so that it began to bounce up and down. The height of the spider above the ground, b, in centimetres, during one bounce can be modelled by h = 10h^2 -40t+240
, where t
seconds is the time since the spider was hit. When was the spider closest to the ground during this bounce?
