Suppose the store wants to earn a daily profit of $150 from the sale of soccer balls. to earn this profit, what price should the store charge for each soccer ball? explain how to solve this problem.

Respuesta :

need to solve the equation 150=-6x2+100x-180.  you can subtract 150 from both sides and use the quadratic formula to find x=4.53 and 12.13. this means that if the store sells soccer balls for 4.53$ or 12.13$ it will earn a daily profit of 150$

The given question lacks the essential part for answering the question, however, the missing information is as follows:

=> Soccer ball profit

y=-6x^2 + 100x – 180

The correct price of each soccer ball would be:

  • x = 4.532 or  x = 12.134

Given:

Soccer ball profit

y=-6x^2 + 100x – 180

Profit required = 150

Formula:

The quadratic formula for the quadratic equation is -

[tex]x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

Solution:

In this case, the daily profit is required $150

then Y = 150 in the equation then,

150 = -6x^2 + 100x – 180

Taking 150 to L.H.S. and fliping the sign:

0 = 6x2+100x-180-150

0 = 6x2+100x+330

Solving the new quadratic equation:

 

[tex]x=\dfrac{-(-100)\pm \sqrt{(-100)^2-4(6)(330)}}{2(6)}\\x=\dfrac{100\pm \sqrt{10000-7920}}{12}\\x=\dfrac{100\pm \sqrt{2080}}{12}[/tex]

Simplifying the radical:

[tex]x=\dfrac{100\pm 4\sqrt{130}}{12}\\x=\dfrac{4(25\pm \sqrt{130})}{12}\\x=\dfrac{25\pm \sqrt{130}}{3}[/tex]

which becomes

x = 4.532

x = 12.134

Thus, the correct price of each soccer ball would be:

  • x = 4.532 or  x = 12.134
