Concept explainers
Football Tickets At a certain school, the number of student tickets sold for a home football game can be modeled by S(p) = 62p + 8500, where p is the winning percent of the home team. The number of nonstudent tickets sold for these home games is given by N(p) = 0.5p2 + 16p + 4400.
a. Write an equation for the total number of tickets sold for a home football game at this school as a function of the winning percent p.
b. What is the domain for the function in part (a) in this context?
c. Assuming that the football stadium is filled to capacity when the team wins 90% of its home games, what is the capacity of the school's stadium?

- An architect is designing a hotel lobby. She wants to have a triangular window looking out to an atrium, with the width of the window 6 feet more than the height. Due to energy restrictions, the area of the window must be 140 square feet. Solve the equation 12h2+3h=140 for h, the height of the window.arrow_forwardCrime prevention The number f(x) of incidents of family violence requiring police response appears to be related to x, the money spent on crisis intervention, by the equation f(x)=4300.005x.
