Choose the true statement(s) from below

If value(t) is the value of a certain item t years after its purchase, then value(7.00 ) is its value 7.00 years after purchase.
 

value(t) = value after t years so

value(7) = value after 7 years.


If value(t) is the value of a certain item t years after its purchase, then the change in its value between t = 7.00 and t = 15.0 is

value(15) = value after 15 years

value(7) = value after 7 years.

so

value(15) - value(7) is the change in the value between t = 7 and t = 15.


If value(t) is the value of a certain item t years after its purchase, then the rate of change in its value with respect to time between t = 7.00 and t = 15.0 is

Rate of change of value with respect to clock time is change in value / change in clock time.

value(15) = value after 15 years

value(7) = value after 7 years.

so

value(15) - value(7) is the change in the value between t = 7 and t = 15.

Between t = 7 and t = 15 the change in clock time is 15 - 7 = 8.

So ave rate of change is


If value(t) is the value of a certain item t years after its purchase, then the rise of a graph of value(t) vs. t between t = 7.00 and t = 15.0 is value(15.0 ) - value(7.00 ).

 

value(7) is the vertical coordinate of the graph at t = 7

value(15) is the vertical coordinate of the graph at t = 15

The rise is the change in the vertical coordinate so the rise is value(15) - value(7).


If value(t) is the value of a certain item t years after its purchase, then the run of a graph of value(t) vs. t between t = 7.00 and t = 15.0 is 15.0 - 7.00 .

Right.

To find the time t when the value is 411. solve the equation value(t) = 411. .
 

value(t) is the value at clock time t, so the equation

value(t) = 411

represents the condition that value = 411.

If we had the formula for valut(t) we could solve this equation.

If you have a graph of value(t) vs. t you can find an approximate solution to the equation value(t) = 411. by locating 411. on the vertical axis, projecting straight across to the graph, then projecting down to the horizontal axis. The solution will be the t obtained on the horizontal axis.
 

This is what we do.

If you have a graph of value(t) vs. t you can estimate the value at 15.0 years by locating 15.0 on the horizontal axis, projecting straight up to the graph, then projecting across to the vertical axis. Value(t) will be the number you end up at on the vertical axis.

Note: The To Be Memorized  link now includes Properties of a Quadratic Function, as listed below.

1.  Quadratic Functions have the form y(x) = a x^2 + b x + c.

2.  The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola.

3.  The parabola is symmetric about its vertical axis of symmetry.

4.  The vertex is the extreme point of the parabola and lies on the axis of symmetry.

5.  The zeros of the function lie at x = (-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4 a c) ) / (2a).

6.  The axis of symmetry of the function is the line x = - b / (2 a), which lies halfway between the zeros as long as the function has real zeros.
