Question

  1. complete the square to write the function in vertex - form, (y = a(x - h)^2 + k), and identify the vertex.

a) (y - 1=x^{2}-10x)
b) (y = 4x^{2}+24x + 13)

  1. same as one of the problems in wiley find the minimum value of the function (h(x)=x^{2}-10x + 7), if it has one.
  2. similar to one of the problems in wiley explain why (k(x)=-(x + 8)^{2}+19) has no minimum.
  3. a carpenter finds that if she charges (p) dollars for a chair, she sells (1200 - 3p) of them each year.

a) what happens when she charges $400 for a chair? should she charge $400 or more for a chair? explain why or why not.
b) construct the revenue function, (r(p)). is it quadratic?
c) sketch a graph of the revenue function, (r(p)). label your axes. hint: use the factored form to find the zeros and then find the vertex.
d) how much should she charge to maximize her annual revenue?
e) what is her maximum annual revenue?

Step1: Isolate y

$y=x^{2}-10x + 1$

Step2: Complete the square

For the quadratic $x^{2}-10x$, the coefficient of $x$ is $- 10$. Half of it is $-5$, and its square is $25$. So $y=(x^{2}-10x + 25)-25 + 1$.

Step3: Write in vertex - form

$y=(x - 5)^2-24$. Since $y - 1=x^{2}-10x$, then $y=(x - 5)^2+24$. The vertex of the parabola $y=a(x - h)^2+k$ is $(h,k)$, so the vertex is $(5,24)$.

Step1: Factor out the coefficient of $x^{2}$

$y=4(x^{2}+6x)+13$

Step2: Complete the square inside the parentheses

For $x^{2}+6x$, half of the coefficient of $x$ is $3$ and its square is $9$. So $y=4(x^{2}+6x + 9)-4\times9+13$.

Step3: Write in vertex - form

$y = 4(x + 3)^2-36 + 13=4(x + 3)^2-11$. The vertex is $(-3,-11)$.

Step1: Complete the square for $h(x)$

$h(x)=x^{2}-10x + 7=(x^{2}-10x+25)-25 + 7$.

Step2: Write in vertex - form

$h(x)=(x - 5)^2-18$. Since the coefficient of $(x - 5)^2$ is $1>0$, the parabola opens upward and the minimum value occurs at the vertex. The minimum value of $h(x)$ is $-18$.

Answer:

$y=(x - 5)^2+24$, vertex: $(5,24)$
