Explanation Given Information: The given function is 1 2 x 2 + x − y = 3 . Formula used: The vertex of the function y = a x 2 + b x + c is ( − b 2 a , f ( − b 2 a ) ) . For the function y = f ( x ) = a x 2 + b x + c , the solutions of the equation a x 2 + b x + c = 0 are the zeroes. To get the zeroes use the quadratic formula x = − b ± b 2 − 4 a c 2 a . The y -intercept of the function y = a x 2 + b x + c is y = c . Explanation: Rewrite the function as: y = 1 2 x 2 + x − 3 To find the vertex of the function y = 1 2 x 2 + x − 3 is maximum or minimum, compare y = 1 2 x 2 + x − 3 with the function y = a x 2 + b x + c to get a , b and c . a = 1 2 , b = 1 , c = − 3 To find the x -coordinates of the vertex, substitute 1 2 for a and 1 for b in − b 2 a . x = − 1 2 × 1 2 = − 1 1 = − 1 To get the y -coordinates of the vertex, substitute − 1 for x in y = f ( x ) = 1 2 x 2 + x − 3 . y = f ( − 1 ) = 1 2 × ( − 1 ) 2 + ( − 1 ) − 3 = 1 2 − 1 − 3 = 1 − 8 2 = − 7 2 = − 3.5 Therefore, the vertex of the function y = 1 2 x 2 + x − 3 is ( − 1 , − 3

Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

The following relates to Problems 4 and 5. Christchurch, New Zealand experienced a major earthquake on February 22, 2011. It destroyed 100,000 homes. Data were collected on a sample of 300 damaged homes. These data are saved in the file called CIEG315 Homework 4 data.xlsx, which is available on Canvas under Files. A subset of the data is shown in the accompanying table. Two of the variables are qualitative in nature: Wall construction and roof construction. Two of the variables are quantitative: (1) Peak ground acceleration (PGA), a measure of the intensity of ground shaking that the home experienced in the earthquake (in units of acceleration of gravity, g); (2) Damage, which indicates the amount of damage experienced in the earthquake in New Zealand dollars; and (3) Building value, the pre-earthquake value of the home in New Zealand dollars.

Rose Par posted Apr 5, 2025 9:01 PM Subscribe To: Store Owner From: Rose Par, Manager Subject: Decision About Selling Custom Flower Bouquets Date: April 5, 2025 Our shop, which prides itself on selling handmade gifts and cultural items, has recently received inquiries from customers about the availability of fresh flower bouquets for special occasions. This has prompted me to consider whether we should introduce custom flower bouquets in our shop. We need to decide whether to start offering this new product. There are three options: provide a complete selection of custom bouquets for events like birthdays and anniversaries, start small with just a few ready-made flower arrangements, or do not add flowers. There are also three possible outcomes. First, we might see high demand, and the bouquets could sell quickly. Second, we might have medium demand, with a few sold each week. Third, there might be low demand, and the flowers may not sell well, possibly going to waste. These outcomes…
