The equation will have the form v(t)=mt+b.the value of the building after 0 year is v(0)=m(0)+b=b=0,000. The slope m is the rate of change, which is 000 (dollars per year). So an equation for the value of the building (in dollars) as a function of the time (in years) is v(t)= 000t+0,000.. v(0)=0,000 and v(6)= 000(6)+0,000=8,000 dollars. 4. The equation v(t)=9,000 becomes 000t+0,000=9, t=,000 t=. years.

(b) The verte is in Quadrant I, at (, 4), meaning it must be either (b) or (f). Since f(0)=, it cannot be (f): if the verte in (f) is (, 4), then the intersection with the y-ais would be about (0, ). It must be (b). 7. (e) The verte is at (, ) in Quadrant IV, so it must be (e). Copyright 0 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Addison-Wesley.

The quadratic regression is y Plot this curve together with the curve y=40, and then find the intersection to find when the number of patent applications will reach 40,000. Note that we use y=40 because the data were given as a number of thousands. The intersection occurs at L 6., so the number of applications will reach 40,000 approimately 6 years after 980 in (a) y = 40 [, 0] by [0, 00] [, 4] by [0, 40] [0, ] by [0000, 7000] (c) The maimum revenue $6,00 is achieved when =8; that is, charging 90 cents per can. 6. (a) g L ft/sec. s 0 = 8 ft and v 0 = 9 ft/sec. So the models are height= s(t) = -6t + 9t + 8 and vertical velocity= v(t) = -t + 9. The maimum height occurs at the verte of s(t). h = - b and a = - 9 (-6) =.87, k = s(.87) =.. The maimum height of the baseball is about ft above the field. (b) The amount of time the ball is in the air is a zero of s(t). Using the quadratic formula, we obtain t = -9 ; 9-4(-6)(8) (-6) -9 ;,776 = L or 6.4. Time is not - negative, so the ball is in the air about 6.4 seconds. (c) To determine the ball s vertical velocity when it hits the ground, use v(t) = -t + 9, and solve for t = 6.4. v(6.4) = -(6.4) + 9 L -7 ft/sec when it hits the ground. 6. (a) h= 6t +80t-0.

For #7 76, f()=(+) - corresponds to f()=a(-h) +k with a= and (h, k)=(, ). 7. The ais of symmetry runs vertically through the verte: =. The answer is B. 77. (a) Graphs (i), (iii), and (v) are linear functions. They can all be represented by an equation y=a+b, where a Z 0. (b) In addition to graphs (i), (iii), and (v), graphs (iv) and (vi) are also functions, the difference is that (iv) and (vi) are constant functions, represented by y=b, b Z 0. (c) (ii) is not a function because a single value (i.e., = ) results in a multiple number of y-values. In fact, there are infinitely many y-values that are valid for the equation =. 79. Answers will vary. One possibility: When using the leastsquares method, mathematicians try to minimize the residual y i -(a i +b), i.e., place the predicted y-values as close as possible to the actual y-values. If mathematicians reversed the ordered pairs, the objective would change to minimizing the residual i -(cy i +d), i.e., placing the predicted -values as close as possible to the actual -values. In order to obtain an eact inverse, the - and y-values for each y pair would have to be almost eactly the same distance from the regression line which is statistically impossible in practice. 8. (a) If a +b +c=0, then -b ; b - 4ac = by the quadratic a -b + b - 4ac formula. Thus, = and a -b - b - 4ac = and a -b + b - 4ac - b - b - 4ac + = a -b = a = -b a = -b a. (b) Similarly, # = a -b + b - 4ac ba -b - b - 4ac b a a b - (b - 4ac) 4ac c = = = 4a 4a a. 8. Multiply out f() to get -(a+b)+ab. Complete (a + b) the square to get a - a + b b +ab-. The 4 a + b verte is then (h, k) where h= and (a + b) (a - b) k=ab- = The Constant Rate of Change Theorem states that a function defined on all real numbers is a linear function if and only if it has a constant nonzero average rate of change between any two points on its graph. To prove this, suppose f() = m + b with m and b constants and m Z 0. Let and be real numbers with Z. Then the average rate of change is f( ) - f( ) = (m + b) - (m + b) = - - m - m = m( - ) = m, a nonzero constant. - - Now suppose that m and are constants, with m Z 0. Let be a real number such that Z, and let f be a function defined on all real numbers such that f() - f( ) = m. Then f() - f( ) = m( - ) = - m - m, and f() = m + (f( ) - m ). f( ) - m is a constant; call it b. Then f( ) - m = b ; so, f( ) = b + m and f() = b + m for all Z. Thus, f is a linear function.

Because f is continuous and f()=() -() -= <0 while f()=() -() -=>0, the Intermediate Value Theorem assures us that the graph of f crosses the -ais (f()=0) somewhere between = and =. 7.

So f()= (+)(-), and the answer is B. 7. The first view shows the end behavior of the function but obscures the fact that there are two local maima and a local minimum (and 4 -ais intersections) between and 4. These are visible in the second view, but missing is the minimum near =7 and the -ais intersection near =9. The second view suggests a degree 4 polynomial rather than degree. 77. The eact behavior near = is hard to see. A zoomed-- in view around the point (, 0) suggests that the graph just touches the -ais at 0 without actually crossing it that is, (, 0) is a local maimum.

The statement f()=0 means that = is a zero of f(). and that is an -intercept of the graph of f(). And it follows that - is a factor of f() and thus that the remainder when f() is divided by - is zero. So the answer is A. 67. f()=(+)( +-)- yields a remainder of when divided by either + or +-, from which it follows that + is not a factor of f() and that f() is not evenly divisible by +. The answer is B. 69. (a) The volume of a sphere is V = 4 In this case, the pr. radius of the buoy is, so the buoy s volume is weight (b) Total weight = volume # unit volume = volume # density.

In #7, look for real zeros using a graph (and perhaps the Rational Zeros Test). Use synthetic division to factor the polynomial into one or more linear factors and a quadratic factor. Then use the quadratic formula to find comple zeros. 7. Inspection of the graph reveals that = is the only real zero. Dividing f() by - leaves ++ (below).
