Ahorse that weighs 1 1 /4 tons is carrying a 110 pound person, a 15 ounce water bottle, and a 16 1 /2 pound basket. what is the weight of the horse, riders, and items in total?

answer: 204

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that the revenue is

x⋅(4080−10x)=−10x^2+4080x

this is a quadratic function, so to maximize it we should find the x-value of its vertex. recall that the x-value of the vertex of the parabola ax^2+bx+c is given by the formula −b/2a.

so in this case, we have a=−10 and b=4080, so the x-value of the vertex is

−b/2a= −(4080)/2(−10)=204

answer is 33
