A potter is selling vases. The function p gives the total profit p(x), in dollars, the potter will receive if the vases are sold at a price of x dollars each. The graph of y = p(x) is shown. y 1,800 1,600 (18, 1536) 1,400 y = p(x) 1,200 1,000 800 600 400 200 (2, 0) (34, 0) 0 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 x Price of one vase (dollars) Profit (dollars) What equation represents the relationship between the price of one vase and the profit? A) p(x) = -6(x - 18)^2 + 34 B) p(x) = -6(x - 18)^2 + 1536 C) p(x) = -6(x - 34)^2 + 18 D) p(x) = -6(x - 34)^2 + 1536

A small company shows the profits from their business with the function P(x) = 0.01x^2 + 60x - 500, where x is the number of units they sell and P is the profit in dollars. a. How many units are sold by the company to earn the maximum profit? b. Between which numbers of units sold does the company show a profit?

2. Ann sells bracelets in her store. Currently, each bracelet sells for $20. She wants to increase her profit P, using different changes in the selling price of each bracelet. She ends up with two different relations, where x represents the increase or decrease (change) in the selling price and P represents her monthly profit, in thousands of dollars. a) P = 120 x – 10 x2 + 1600 (6 marks) b) P = 1600 + 49.5 x – 11x2 (6 marks) (i) For each equation, find the maximum profit and selling price of each bracelet. Use a different method for each equation. (ii) If Ann breaks even, what is the selling price of each bracelet?
