Total of s(p) and n(p) gives the expression for T(p)  Solution: S(p)=59p+8100  N(p)=0.2p2+12p+4100  a) Total number of ticket sold =s(p)+n(p)  =59p+8100+0.2p2+12p+4100  =0.2p2+71p+12200  b) As given for pass percent p  0≤p≤100  c) p=90%  p=90 its

Consider that the number of student ticket sold for a game is S(p)=59p+8100 and the number of non student ticket sold is given by N(p)=0.2p2+12p+4100, here pdenotes the winning percentage.   a) Equation of total number of tickets sold T(p) for the game.   Since total number of ticket sold would be the sum of the tickets sold to both student  and non students therefore, T(p)=S(p)+N(p)  =59p+8100+0.2p2+12p+4100  =0.2p2+71p+12200  b) Find the domain of the function T(p)=0.2p2+71p+12200.  Since T(p) is a polynomial function and the domain of polynomial function is set of real numbers.   Hence domain of T(p)=0.2p2+71p+12200 is set of real numbers denoted by R.    c) Given for p=90% stadium is full. Find the capacity of stadium.   Substitute p=90%=0.9 into T(p)=0.2p2+71p+12200 and solve.  T(p)=0.2(0.9)2+71(0.9)+12200  =0.162+63.9+12200  =12,264.062  ≈12,264  Hence the stadium capacity is 12264

Total number of tickets sold =(total number of student tickets sold)+(total number of non-student tickets) =S(p)+N(p) =(57p+8900)+(0.2p2+17p+4800) =0.2p2+74p+13700

At a certain school, the number of student tickets sold for a home football game can be modeled by P
