1. Warm-up
1. The profit from selling local ballet tickets depends on the ticket price.  Using past receipts, we find that the profit can be modeled by the function  𝒑 𝒙 =−𝟏𝟓 𝒙 𝟐 +𝟔𝟎𝟎𝒙+𝟔𝟎, where x is the price in dollars of each ticket.  We want to find the ticket price that gives the maximum profit, and also find that maximum profit.
2. Taylor and Miranda are performing on a magic dimension-changing stage that is 20 yards long by 15 yards wide.  The length is decreasing linearly (with time) at a rate of 2 yards per hour, and the width is increasing linearly (with time) at a rate of 3 yards per hour.  When will the stage have the maximum area, and when will the stage disappear (have an area of 0 square yards)?
