Answer:

(a) f(x) = 110x -x^2

(b) $55

Explanation:

(a)

You figure out part (a) by following directions. Multiply (110 -x) by x. Use the distributive property to simplify it:

f(x) = 110x -x^2

__

(b)

You know that the vertex of a parabola is on the line of symmetry, and that any two points with the same y-value are located symmetrically about that line. The function f(x) = x(110 -x) is zero for x=0 and for x=110. The vertex (maximum) of the function will be located halfway between these values, at ...

x = (0 +110)/2 = 55

She should charge $55 to maximize her revenue.
