Determine maximum or minimum income, earnings and investments through the vertex of a quadratic equation. Mrs. Miranda has a business selling cookies and biscuits. When you sell "x" items per year, the income is described by the quadratic function: f(x)= 72x – 0.08x2 1. Calculate the number of items you should sell each year for maximum income. 2. What is the maximum income?
