HELP ME PLEASE !!!!!!! WILL GIVE 50 pts

The function f(x) = –x2 + 18x – 72 models the daily profit, in dollars, a gym makes for selling memberships, where x is the number of memberships sold, and f(x) is the amount of profit. Part A: Determine the vertex. What does this calculation mean in the context of the problem? (5 points) Part B: Determine the x-intercepts. What do these values mean in the context of the problem? )

Answer 1

B) (12,0) (6,0) .....

Answer 2

Vertex formula = -b/2a
-18/1 = 18.
However, this is just the x value, the vertex is (x,y)
-18*2 + 18(18) - 72 = 576
A) (18,576)
576 dollars made with 18 members is the highest amount made in one day.

B) (12,0) (6,0)
