I pick two whole numbers $x$ and $y$ between $1$ and $10$ inclusive (not necessarily distinct). My friend picks two numbers $x -4$ and $2y-1$. If the product of my friend's numbers is one greater than the product of my numbers, then what is the product of my numbers?

1. minimum

2. 6400

3. eight

hope this !

answer: 204

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that the revenue is

x⋅(4080−10x)=−10x^2+4080x

this is a quadratic function, so to maximize it we should find the x-value of its vertex. recall that the x-value of the vertex of the parabola ax^2+bx+c is given by the formula −b/2a.

so in this case, we have a=−10 and b=4080, so the x-value of the vertex is

−b/2a= −(4080)/2(−10)=204
