Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.

![**12. Graph the following quadratic function using its properties.**
\[ G(x) = -x^2 + 2x + 8 \]
To graph this quadratic function effectively, we should examine its properties, such as the vertex, axis of symmetry, and intercepts.
- **Vertex**: The vertex can be found using the formula \( x = -\frac{b}{2a} \). For the function \( G(x) = -x^2 + 2x + 8 \), \( a = -1 \) and \( b = 2 \). Solving this gives \( x = -\frac{2}{2(-1)} = 1 \). Substitute back to find \( G(1) = -(1)^2 + 2(1) + 8 = 9 \). Thus, the vertex is at \( (1, 9) \).
- **Axis of Symmetry**: This is the vertical line \( x = 1 \).
- **Intercepts**: The y-intercept is found by evaluating \( G(x) \) at \( x = 0 \): \( G(0) = 8 \). To find the x-intercepts, set \( G(x) \) to zero and solve for \( x \):
\[ 0 = -x^2 + 2x + 8 \]
Solving this quadratic equation gives the points of intersection with the x-axis.
- **Direction**: Since the coefficient of \( x^2 \) is negative, the parabola opens downwards.
By utilizing these properties, the graph of the function can be accurately depicted.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Faebfce49-547b-4778-84f2-e34e1d4fd7ce%2F6231ba47-b35f-4706-bb8d-516ed926aff0%2Fu7xi4g_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
