Answer:
Explanation:
R(x) = -x^2 + 6x + 40
R(x) = -(x - 4)(x + 10)
R(x) = -(x^2 - 14x + 40)
R(x) = -(x + 3)^2 + 49
R(x) = -x^2 + 6x + 40
This option represents a quadratic function of x, but it doesn't directly involve a decrease in price. It's unlikely to be the correct choice.
R(x) = -(x - 4)(x + 10)
This option represents a quadratic function of x, and it does involve a decrease in price (x - 4), so it seems to be a better choice.
R(x) = -(x^2 - 14x + 40)
This option represents a quadratic function of x, but it does not directly involve a decrease in price. It's unlikely to be the correct choice.
R(x) = -(x + 3)^2 + 49
This option represents a quadratic function of x, but it involves an increase in price (x + 3) rather than a decrease. It's also unlikely to be the correct choice.
