By solving a quadratic equation, we will see that the attendance will be the same after 5 days and after 35 days.
When is the attendance for each movie the same?
This will happen for the values of x such that:
y = -x^2 +35x + 100 = y = -5x+275
There says that the attendance for movie A is the same as the one for movie B. So we just need to solve that.
We can write the equation as:
-x^2 +35x + 100 = -5x+275
If we simplify this, we get:
-x^2 + 35x + 100 + 5x - 275 = 0
-x^2 + 40x - 175 = 0
This is a quadratic equation, the two solutions are given by Bhaskara's formula, we will get:
[tex]x = \frac{-40 \pm \sqrt{(40ft)^2 - 4*(-1)*-175)} }{2*-1} \\\\x = \frac{-40 \pm 30}{-2}[/tex]
So the two solutions are:
x = (-40 + 30)/-2 = 5
x = (-40 - 30)/-2 = 35
So, the attendance will be the same after 5 days and after 35 days.
