8A Exam 2 Review

1. Solving a quadratic equation-- by any of the following methods (I


could ask you to show a couple ways): factoring, completing the
square, and the quadratic formula.

2. Quadratic functions and their properties-- whether they open up or


down; vertex point and vertex form of equation; axis of symmetry;
maximum or minimum value of the function; x- and y-intercepts;
and domain and range.
3. Application problems that require you to set up a quadratic
function and its max
or min value. Also application problems that require you to set up
a function through geometric reasoning.

4. Solving quadratic inequalities.

5. Solve absolute value equations and inequalities.

6. Graphing polynomials by finding their end behavior (and know


how to describe this end behavior in pictorial and limit-symbolic
form); x-intercepts (real zeros), their multiplicities, and the
resulting info on whether the graph touches or crosses the x-axis at
each x-intercept; y-intercept.

7. Finding the real zeros of polynomials by applying the Rational


Zeros Theorem, Intermediate Value Theorem, Division Algorithm.

8. Find complex zeros of polynomials by applying the Fundamental


Theorem of Algebra
(which implies the number of complex zeros of a polynomial
equals its degree), the
Conjugate Pairs Theorem, and the Division Algorithm.
9. Property and Graphs of Rational Functions
10. Polynomials and Rational Inequalities

Chapter 2 Review (pp. 185-187): 5, 11, 21, 25, 33, 39, 43, 44, 45, 49,

d) If this price is charged, what is the maximum revenue?
Rmax= -10*752 + 1500*75 =750*75 = $56,250
e) How many units sold at this price?
xmax = 1500 – 10*75 = 750
f) What price should be charged to collect at least $56,000?
- 10p2 + 1500p >= 56,000
