b. axis of symmetry: at the point .

the direction of opening: down because there is -3, a negative coefficient,

near the x2.

x-intercepts: (-1;0) , (1;0).

y-intercepts: (0;1).

Vertex: ( ; 2).
3

Minimum: it is infinite.

Maximum: for x is also infinite, but for y it is 2.

Part 2

1. To open it up we need to have a positive coefficient: x ∗(−1 )= x
2 2

−1
2. To do a vertex at (-3;2) we need to add c and d parameters: ( x+ 3 )2 +2

3. To do both: ( x+ 3 )2 +2

Part 3

x + 3y= 18

What do they want from me???

Part 4

x – length, y – width

x +2 y=600 ⇒ x=600−2 y

S= xy=600 y−2 y

−b −600
y max = = =150
2a −4

So, we have got that the ymax is 150, then xmax is 300.

Part 5

a. R ( x )=( 8+ x ) ( 2000−10 0 x )=−100 x 2 +1200 x+16000

The first parentheses are price, the second parentheses are the number of

visitors for x as the price change, and R as for a final amount of profit or

loss.

−b −1200
b. x 0= = =6
2 a −200

y 0=f ( 6 ) =−3600+7200+16000=1960 0

Max point is (6; 19 600)

c. Price(6) = 8+x=8+6=14. 14$, because 6 is a maximum.

d. Visitors(6) = 2000-100x = 2000-600 = 1400. 1400 visitors, because 6 is a

maximum point.
