Unit 0 – Miscellaneous Topics
Big idea
In this unit you will review grade 9 – 10 topics as well as learn how to work with algebra of more complex nature than you’ve seen so far. You’ll learn about new types of factoring techniques, about how to simplify and solve roots, you will learn about a new exponent law that involves fractions in the exponent and finally how to simplify expressions that have variables in the numerators and the denominators.

ASSIGNMENT Quadratic Word Problems (gr10)
1. Revenue problem The circus sells 1000 tickets for $6 each. The circus owners want to increase their revenues, so they increase prices. They have noticed that ticket sales decrease by 45 tickets every time the price increases by $0.50. a) What is the revenue equation? b) What price will maximize the revenue? c) What is the quantity at maximum? d) What is the maximum revenue?
2. Falling object problem A water balloon is catapulted into the air so that its height, in meters after t seconds is given by a quadratic function. The balloon’s initial speed is 27 meters/second and it was released from the height of 3 meters. When does the balloon reach the height of 35m?

the maximum profit. c) Find the number of items to sell to have the
profit of $100. d) What is the initial profit?
