Jimmy owns a small engine repair business. The revenue, in dollars, can be modeled by the equation y = 420 + 72x, where x is the number of hours spent repairing small engines. The overhead cost, in dollars, can be modeled by the equation y = 24x² + 180 where x is the number of hours spent repairing bikes

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
