- EN: The profit function for a school fundraiser is P(x) = −x² + 10x − 16, where x is the number of items sold (in hundreds). What number of items (in hundreds) maximizes profit?
- FR: La fonction de profit pour une levée de fonds scolaire est P(x) = −x² + 10x − 16, où x est le nombre d'articles vendus (en centaines). Quel nombre d'articles (en centaines) maximise le profit?
- Choices: A) x = 4 B) x = 5 C) x = 6 D) x = 8
- Hint: For P(x) = −2x² + 8x, find P′(x) = −4x + 8, set to zero: −4x + 8 = 0, so x = 2 maximizes profit.
- Steps:
- Find P′(x): d/dx (−x² + 10x − 16) = −2x + 10.
- Set P′(x) = 0: −2x + 10 = 0 → x = 5.
- Since the coefficient of x² is negative, this is a maximum.
- Answer: x = 5

A Story of Kindness
Anika lived in Yellowknife and always rode the school bus home with her neighbours. One afternoon, she noticed an older man named Mr. Tran struggling to carry two heavy grocery bags down the bus steps. Without hesitating, Anika jumped up and held the bags while he stepped safely onto the sidewalk. Mr. Tran smiled and said it was the nicest thing anyone had done for him all week. Anika waved goodbye and climbed back on the bus, feeling warm all the way home.
