Question 622091: I need to learn this with the reinforcement of detailed instructions on how to get to these final results. Thank you.
The monthly value of a share of ACME Corporation, in dollars, since January 2009 are shown in the table below. The values of the table below model the behavior of a quadratic function when it is graphed.
Month ------ Share Value (in dollars)
0 ------ 55
3 ------ 16
5 ------ 0
7 ------ -8
9 ------ -8
11 ------ 0
13 ------ 16
15 ------ 40
1. Using the table above, find the quadratic equation that represents the monthly value of a share of ACME Corporation since January 2009. Use the variable x to represent the number of months after January 2009 and the variable y to represent the monthly value
2. Find the y-intercept. Interpret the meaning of the y-intercept in relation to the given real-life scenario
3. Find the x-intercepts. Interpret the meaning of the x-intercepts in relation to the given real-life scenario.
4. From the equation you found in problem 1, what is the concavity of the parabola? How do you know? What is the lowest or maximum monthly value of a share of ACME Corporation and when did that occur?
5. Using the quadratic equation you found in problem 1, predict the value of a share of ACME Corporation in October 2010?
