Guysss plsss HEELPPP ME ILL MARK BRAINLIEST PLLL HELP
The owner of a video game store creates the expression −2x2 + 24x + 174 to represent the store's weekly profit in dollars, where x represents the price of a new video game. Choose the equivalent expression that reveals the video game price that produces the highest weekly profit, and use it to determine the price.
−2(x2 − 12x) + 174; x = $12
−2(x2 − 12x − 87); x = $87
−2(x − 6)2 + 246; x = $246
−2(x − 6)2 + 246; x = $6

with the video game cost of x = $6

This agrees with the last option in the list of possible answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the maximum of a parabola resides at its vertex. So let's find the x and y position of that vertex, by using first the fact that the x value of the vertex of a parabola of general form:

is given by:

In our case, the quadratic expression that generates the parabola is:

then the x-position of its vertex is:

This is the price of the video game that produces the maximum profit (x = $6). Now let's find the y-position of the vertex using the actual equation for this value of x:

This value is the highest weekly profit (y = $246).

Now, recall that we can write the equation of the parabola in what is called "vertex form" using the actual values of the vertex position :

Therefore the answer is:

with the video game cost of x = $6

i think c. but don't trust it.

step-by-step explanation:

after simplifying it i got: -36.25 as my answer. hope that !
