Question

The quadratic equation y = –6x2 + 100x – 180 models the store’s daily profit, y, for selling soccer balls at x dollars.

The quadratic equation y = –4x2 + 80x – 150 models the store’s daily profit, y, for selling footballs at x dollars. Use a graphing calculator to find the intersection point(s) of the graphs, and explain what they mean in the context of the problem.
