Solve each problem.
Tropical Pools figures that its monthly revenue in dollars on the sale of $x$ above ground pools is given by $R=1500 x-3 x^{2},$ where $x$ is less than $25 .$ What number of pools sold would provide a revenue of $\$ 17,568 ?$

Key Concepts

Quadratic Functions

A quadratic function is a second-degree polynomial typically expressed in the form ax² + bx + c. In many real-world applications, such as revenue models, the quadratic function describes how one variable, often revenue, varies with respect to another variable, such as units sold. Its parabolic shape means that there is typically a maximum or minimum value, which is important in optimization problems.

Solving Quadratic Equations

Solving a quadratic equation involves finding the values of the variable that satisfy the equation. This can be achieved through methods such as factoring, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula. The choice of method often depends on the form of the quadratic and the specific conditions of the problem.

Revenue Modeling

Revenue models in business often use quadratic functions to represent the relationship between the number of units sold and the revenue generated. This is due to factors such as pricing strategies and production limitations, which can cause revenue to increase up to a certain point before decreasing, reflecting a maximum revenue scenario.

Domain Constraints

When solving real-world problems, it is important to consider any domain restrictions placed on the variables. Domain constraints limit the possible values to those that are meaningful in context. For instance, if the number of units sold must be below a certain threshold, only solutions within that domain are relevant to the problem.
