Word Problem: 

The first vertex form word problem that I'm going to show you is a profit word problem.

Question:The following equation represents the profits at a local movie theatre P=-20(t-7)²+1220 where P represents the profit the movie theatre will make and t represents the ticket price.

 

a) What is the vertex? Explain what the vertex means in relation to this question.

 

b)At what ticket price(s) will the movie theatre make a profit of zero dollars?

 

Try these questions before you watch the video I made on how to solve these!
