f(x) = x2 + 2x - 2
Show graph

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x2 + 2x - 2  should be rewritten using " ^ " to indicate exponentiation:

f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 2.

We find a couple of key points and use the fact that this parabola is symmetric about the line

          -2

x = ----------- = -1.  When x = -1, y = f(-1) = (-1)^2 + 2(-1) - 2, or 1 - 2 -2, or -3.

        2(1)

Thus the vertex is at (-1, -3).  The y-intercept is found by letting x = 0:  y = -2.  The axis of symmetry is x = -1.

Graph x = -1 and then reflect this y-intercept (0, -2) about the line x = -1, obtaining (-2, -2).  If necessary, find 1 or two more points (such as the x-intercepts).

To find the roots (x-intercepts), set f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 2 = 0 and solve for x.

Completing the square, we obtain x^2 + 2x + 1 - 2 = + 1, or (x + 1)^2 = 3.

Taking the square root of both sides yields x + 1 = ±√3.  One of the two roots is x = 1.732 - 1, or 0.732, so one of the two x-intercepts is (0.732, 0).

so what is the problem what are they asking you to solve

so what is the problem what are they asking you to solve

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume

number of candles set =x

price of of x candles =p(x)

we are given

a candle maker prices one set of scented candles at $10 and sells an average of 200 sets each week

so, we get point as (200,10)

he finds that when he reduces the price by $1, he then sells 50 more candle sets each week

so, we can find slope

now, we can use point slope form of line

now, we can plug values

we can use point

and find b

now, we can plug it back

and we get

now, we can find revenue

we know that

revenue = price*quantity

so, we get
