Tutorial 3 Linear Function

This document contains a tutorial on linear and quadratic functions with various questions to solve. Some key points: - It asks students to determine if functions are linear or quadratic, find slopes of lines, equations of lines meeting certain criteria, maximum/minimum points of quadratic functions, and using linear and quadratic models in contexts like revenue, costs, supply and demand. - Questions involve sketching graphs of functions, finding intersections of lines, and using linear and quadratic models to optimize things like revenue and costs or find break even points. - One question maximizes the revenue function for a laptop manufacturer to find the optimal production level and revenue is RM240,000 producing 200 units.
