[link] , the quadratic was easily solved by factoring. However, there are many quadratics that cannot be factored. We can solve these quadratics by first rewriting them in standard form.
Given a quadratic function, find the
intercepts by rewriting in standard form .
Substitute

Substitute
into the general form of the quadratic function to find
Rewrite the quadratic in standard form using

Solve for when the output of the function will be zero to find the
intercepts.
Finding the
Intercepts of a parabola
Find the
intercepts of the quadratic function
We begin by solving for when the output will be zero.
Because the quadratic is not easily factorable in this case, we solve for the intercepts by first rewriting the quadratic in standard form.
We know that
Then we solve for
and
So now we can rewrite in standard form.
We can now solve for when the output will be zero.

A ball is thrown upward from the top of a 40 foot high building at a speed of 80 feet per second. The ball’s height above ground can be modeled by the equation
When does the ball reach the maximum height?
What is the maximum height of the ball?
When does the ball hit the ground?
The ball reaches the maximum height at the vertex of the parabola.
The ball reaches a maximum height after 2.5 seconds.
To find the maximum height, find the
coordinate of the vertex of the parabola.
The ball reaches a maximum height of 140 feet.
To find when the ball hits the ground, we need to determine when the height is zero,
We use the quadratic formula.
Because the square root does not simplify nicely, we can use a calculator to approximate the values of the solutions.
The second answer is outside the reasonable domain of our model, so we conclude the ball will hit the ground after about 5.458 seconds. See

In economics, a perfect market refers to a theoretical construct where all participants have perfect information, goods are homogenous, there are no barriers to entry or exit, and prices are determined solely by supply and demand. It's an idealized model used for analysis,

Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded

Economic growth as an increase in the production and consumption of goods and services within an economy.but
Economic development as a broader concept that encompasses not only economic growth but also social & human well being.

What do you think is more important to focus on when considering inequality ?
sir...I just want to ask one question... Define the term contract curve? if you are free please help me to find this answer 🙏
Asui
it is a curve that we get after connecting the pareto optimal combinations of two consumers after their mutually beneficial trade offs

thank you so much 👍 sir

In economics, the contract curve refers to the set of points in an Edgeworth box diagram where both parties involved in a trade cannot be made better off without making one of them worse off. It represents the Pareto efficient allocations of goods between two individuals or entities, where neither p
