2. polynomial functions: we modeled many things in chapters 1 - 3 with linear functions. in
reality, we can model many situations more accurately using polynomial functions. in a
polynomial function, the expression that defines the function is a polynomial.
example 2: let p(x) = 2x2 - 3x +1. find:
(a) p(0) (6) p(-1) (c) p(m) (d) p(-31).

add all the numbers and check the ones place.

the answer is 486. as the ones place is more than 4, the estimation will be the next 10 ie, 490

452,489 to the nearest thousand is 452,000

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
