October 7 (Tuesday) 2.5 156—157

4, 6, 8, 14, 20, 22, 23

Use interval notation to write every answer that is not the empty set. The symbol for the empty set is ∅.

    Examples:
  • The solution set to x2 − 4 < 0 is (−2, 2).
  • The solution set to x2 − 4 ≤ 0 is [−2, 2].
  • The solution set to x2 − 4 > 0 is (−∞, −2) ∪ (2, ∞).
  • The solution set to x2 − 4 ≥ 0 is (−∞, −2] ∪ [2, ∞).

11—18, 28, 32, 38, 42, 53—58, 60, 62, 64, 66

  • For problems 28 and 32, begin by writing the function definition in the form f(x) = a(x − h)2 + k. Then draw the graph by shifting the graph of y = ax2.
  • For problems 53—58, write your answer in the form f(x) = ax2 + bx + c.
  • For problems 60 and 64, write your answer in this way: "f has a maximum value of … at …."

    Example: The answer to problem 63 is, "f has a maximum value of 21 at 5."

  • For problems 62 and 66, write your answer in this way: "f has a minimum value of … at …."
