A baseball team plays in a stadium that holds 56,000 spectators. With ticket prices at $10, the average attendance had been 16,000. When ticket prices were lowered to $8, the average attendance rose to 24,000. (a) Find the demand function (price p as a function of attendance x), assuming it to be linear. p(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Spectator or attendance

Price

When ticket price lowered by

attendance

Suppose they follow a linear relation then

where

for

For

From (i) and (ii) we get

substitute the value of m to get

Therefore the required equation becomes

idk

step-by-step explanation:

-7

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 18x + 74 = (x + 9)^2 - 81 + 74

= (x + 9)^2 - 7.

so q = -7.
