4. Find the 𝑥- and 𝑦- intercepts of the graph of 𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 3, and sketch the graph.
5. Find the intercepts of the graph of 𝑦 = 4𝑥 2 + 16, and sketch the graph.
6. A new house was sold for RM1,183,000 six years after it was built and
purchased. The original owners calculated that the house appreciated
RM53,000 per year while they owned it. Find a linear function that describes
the appreciation of the building, in thousands of RM, if 𝑥 is the number of
years since the original purchase.
7. The daily profit for the garden department of a store from the sale of trees is
given by 𝑃(𝑥) = −𝑥 2 + 18𝑥+144, where 𝑥 is the number of trees sold. Find the
function’s vertex and intercept. Graph the function.
9. The probability that a telephone operator will receive exactly 𝑥 calls during a
certain period is given by,
𝑒 −33𝑥
𝑃=
𝑥!
Find the probability that the operator will receive exactly three calls.
10. The demand equation for a consumer product is 𝑞 = 80 − 2𝑝 . Solve for 𝑝 and
express your answer in terms of common logarithms.
Evaluate 𝑝 when 𝑞 = 60.
