• Domain is R when the denominator must not equal to O for any x.
• Does there exist a solution to
?012 x
Tap MENU icon on +
Solve the quadratic equation
We generate a table of functional values
Menu – Graph... – Table
Specify a range of values for variable x Generate a number table
By solving inequality we can make sure that the maximum
value of the function is not bigger than 1.
Menu – Main - Action – Equation/Inequality – solve
We have proved that the maximum of the function is 1.
Whether the function is odd or even can be seen from the graph. Our hypothesis says the function is even because its graph is symmetric about the y-axis. We can prove it only if for all the variables x applies f(-x) = f(x).
To prove it let`s solve:
Thus our hypothesis is proved.

Try to solve the Exercise 2 on your own.
You have got 5 minutes.(It’s an easy exercise.)
Solution - Exercise 2
Several Graphs (Exercise 3:)Tap MENU , then Graph Clear the previos function EDIT + CLEAR ALL + OK
Enter the functions “y1, y2, y3...”

Non-linear ModelsTwo girls want to make money to buy
Christmas gifts for their relatives and friends. They see their opportunity in making and selling necklaces from glass beans. They realized that first they have to invest $50 to various tools. For each necklace they also need a set of beans. The supplier offers them for the basic price $2, but the price declines by 1 cent per set.
Revenue and Break-even point
Fixed cost: $50Variable cost per set: 2–0.1*x (x is the number of sets)

coordinate?• What is the meaning of y-
coordinate?• What if we would start selling
with discounts, too?
Why Should We Ever Mention the Word “Quadratic”?

Exercises 5:• Carrying a ladder of 4meters and
holding it in a horizontal position in a corridor shown in Figure is it possible to turn round the corner? Is there enough room for the ladder?
Answer Exercises 5• A ladder of maximum length which
"goes in" that corridor turn at that particular rotation (the angle of the rotation can be given by x) is l(x)
• Using ClassPad plot the graph of the function and find the minimum

Answer Exercises 5
•It is seen that the minimum of the function is 4.1619381 what means that the ladder of 4 meters can be turned round in the corridor turn.•The task can be solved geometrically, too.
