Up and Down or Down and UpExploring Quadratic Functions
1. The citizens of Herrington County are wild about their dogs. They have an existing dog park for dogs to play, but have decided to build another one so that one park will be for small dogs and the other will be for large dogs. The plan is to build a rectangular fenced in area that will be adjacent to the existing dog park. The sketch is shown below. The county has enough money in the budget to buy 1000 feet of fencing.

1. A masking tape company has to decide how many hundreds of rolls of tape to produce each day. The company knows that the costs to produce the tape go down the more rolls they make. However, the overall cost to the company increases if they make too many rolls due to the cost of storing overstock.

The Form Is “Key”Vertex Form of a Quadratic Function
1. A concert venue can hold up to 20,000 people. The concert will sell out if tickets are sold for $40 a piece. In order to make more money, the venue would like to increase the ticket price. They determine that for every one dollar increase in price, 200 fewer people will attend. If x represents the number of one dollar increases in the price, then the revenue that the concert will bring in is represented by the function R(x) 5 (20,000 2 200x)(40 1 x).
a. Rewrite this function in the correct factored form. Then state the key characteristics you can determine from the equation and what they mean in terms of the problem situation.

3. A company knows that the more it advertises the more product it will sell. However, advertising more will also cost more money, which then takes away some of the profit. The profit will therefore follow the path of a parabola, because it will increase from more advertising but eventually decrease if too much money is spent on advertising. The profit (in thousands of dollars) can be represented by the function P(x) 5 22 x 2 1 14x 1 60, where x represents the amount of money spent (in thousands of dollars).
