There are three things you have to know:

  • A function is convex when its second derivative f''(x)>0
  • A function is concave when it second derivative f''(x)
  • The derivative of a power, x^n, is nx^{n-1}

So, the first derivative is

y'=2ax+b

and the second derivative is

y''=2a

This implies that the second derivative of a parabola is constant, and of course that 2 doesn't change the sign of a.

1. The Agent Earned $6,303  

First, the real estate agency will earned 5.5%

5.5/100 * $382,000 = $21,010

Then, the agent earns 30% of $21,010

30/100 * $21,010 = $6,303

2. Basically, we're setting up an equation where Option A and Option B are the same amount.

For option A, you are making 23 dollars each hours, for 40 hours. (40*23)

For option B, you are making 4% of your sales. We're looking for how much she sells, so we can write that as x. (.04x)

Set the 2 options as equal and solve for x.   so x is  920(.04x

sorry if wrong it was really hard

3. If 90% are women, 10% are men.

If x is the total amount of people.

.1x = 320

Solve x from here.
