c) y = 1__2 (x – 5)2 – 4 and y = 1__2 x2 __– 5x + 1726. State the maximum or minimum value of each quadratic function, correct to the nearesthundredth, and the x-value at which it occurs.a) y = 3x 2 – 4x – 5 b) y = 1__3 x2 – 4x + 10c) y = –0.25x 2 + 2x + 3 d) y = 2x 2 – 1__4 x + 1& See #7 and #8 on page 193 of <strong>Pre</strong>-<strong>Calculus</strong> <strong>11</strong> for more practice in completing the squarewith fractions and decimals.Apply7. A manufacturer has determined that the cost, c, in dollars, of producing a particularcomponent can be modelled by the function c(n) = 50n 2 – 8000n + 3 300 000, where n is thenumber of components made. Determine the number of components that should be madeso that the manufacturer has the minimum possible cost.This quadratic function has a minimum because .The minimum value occurs at the vertex of the function. So, determine the minimum bycompleting the square.c(n) = 50n 2 – 8000n + 3 300 000What information does the coordinatesc(n) = 50(n 2 of the vertex give the manufacturer?– n) + 3 300 000& For more practice with this concept, complete #13 on page 194 of <strong>Pre</strong>-<strong>Calculus</strong> <strong>11</strong>.8. When an object is thrown in the air its height, h, in metres after t seconds can beapproximated by the function h(t) = –5t 2 + vt + d, where v is its starting speed in metresper second and d is its initial height, in metres, above the ground.a) Suppose a ball is thrown from a height of 2 m at a speed of 20 m/s. Determinealgebraically the maximum height of the ball and the time it takes to reach that height.32 MHR • Chapter 3 978-0-07-073882-9
