    Answer: S = 8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If the bus begins its route with no passengers, that is P = 0

    P = - 2 (S - 4) 2 + 32 = 0

    ( - 2S + 8) 4 = - 32

    -8S + 32 = - 32

    -8S = - 64

    S = 64/8 = 8

    The value of S when the bus has its greatest number of passengers?
