1) We can determine by the table of values whether a function is a quadratic one by considering this example:
x | y 1st difference 2nd difference
0 0 3 -0 = 3 7-3 = 4
1 3 10 -3 = 7 11 -7 = 4
2 10 21 -10 =11 15 -11 = 4
3 21 36-21 = 15 19-5 = 4
4 36 55-36= 19
5 55
2) Let's subtract the values of y this way:
3 -0 = 3
10 -3 = 7
21 -10 = 11
36 -21 = 15
55 -36 = 19
Now let's subtract the differences we've just found:
7 -3 = 4
11-7 = 4
15-11 = 4
19-15 = 4
So, if the "second difference" is constant (same result) then it means we have a quadratic function just by analyzing the table.
3) Hence, we can determine if this is a quadratic relation calculating the second difference of the y-values if the second difference yields the same value. The graph must be a parabola and the highest coefficient must be 2
Most graphing calculators will do weighted averages pretty easily. It is mostly a matter of data entry.
mx = -2
my = 10
(x, y) = (mx, my)/10 = (-0.2, 1)
Answer:
Rate of change of profit for this period = $2750 / month
Answer
Well first you need to remove parentheses by multiplying factors. Next
use exponent rules to remove parentheses in terms with exponents. Then
combine like terms by adding coefficients. Finally you just
combine the constants.
