An oil spill has fouled 400 miles of Pacific shoreline. The company responsible has been ordered to clean the mess. Each clean-up crew costs $10000 to bring in, and $700 per crew per day. Each crew can clean 1 mile of shoreline per day. To encourage a speedy cleanup, the government is levying a fine of $1000 per day against the company. Your group has been hired by the company to determine how many crews the company should hire to minimize their costs. Find an equation that gives the cost, C of cleanup in terms of the number of crews.

What is the factored form of x2 − 4x − 5? (x + 5)(x − 1) (x + 5)(x + 1) (x − 5)(x − 1) (x − 5)(x + 1)

Which of the following is the correct equation for this function? a. y= (x+4)(x+2) b. y=x^2+ 3x – 2 c. y+ 2 = – 2(x+3)^2 d. y+ 2 = 2(x+3)^2

Since opening night, attendance at play a has increased steadily, while attendance at play b first rose and then fell. equations modeling the daily attendance y at each play are shown below, where x is the number of days since opening night. on what day(s) was the attendance the same at both plays? what was the attendance? play a: y = 8x + 191 play b: y = -x^2 + 26x + 126 a. the attendance was never the same at both plays. b. the attendance was the same on day 5. the attendance was 231 at both plays on that day. c. the attendance was the same on day 13. the attendance was 295 at both plays on that day. d. the attendance was the same on days 5 and 13. the attendance at both plays on those days was 231 and 295 respectively.
