In Problems 21–28, determine whether the given function is linear or nonlinear. If it is linear, determine the equation of the line .
| x | |
| -2 | 8 |
| -1 | 8 |
| 0 | 8 |
| 1 | 8 |
| 2 | 8 |
Graph the function by starting with the graph of and using transformations (shifting, compressing, stretching, and/or reflection). Verify your results using a graphing utility.
Hint: If necessary, write in the form .
In Problems 6– 8, graph each quadratic function using transformations (shifting, compressing, stretching, and/or reflecting).
The daily revenue R achieved by selling x boxes of candy is figured to be The daily cost C of selling x boxes of candy is .
(a) How many boxes of candy must the firm sell to maximize revenue? What is the maximum revenue?
(b) Profit is given as P(x) = R(x) - C(x). What is the profit function?
(c) How many boxes of candy must the firm sell to maximize profit? What is the maximum profit?
(d) Provide a reasonable explanation as to why the answers found in parts (a) and (c) differ. Explain why a quadratic function is a reasonable model for revenue.
If the slope m of the graph of a linear function is________, the function is increasing over its domain.
