Different forms of a quadratic function can be easier to use than others. Each form has its own advantages, depending on the kind of information that’s needed for a given purpose.

Design a chart, flow chart, mind map, or some other visual to help you organize the information that can easily be determined about the graph of a parabola when the function is written in vertex form, standard form, and factored form.

Tom is the deli manager at a grocery store. he needs to schedule employee to staff the deli department for no more that 260 person-hours per week. tom has one part-time employee who works 20 person-hours per week. each full-time employee works 40 person-hours per week. write and inequality to determine n, the number of full-time employees tom may schedule, so that his employees work on more than 260 person-hours per week. graph the solution set to this inequality.
