Other than the equation, a function can be classified based on its graph and
set of ordered pairs or table of values. For example, the graph of a linear
function is a line and its table of values has a common difference for its
domain (set of x values) and range (set of y values),

Consider the following problem.
‘The sum of two numbers is 32. Find the two numbers and their
product if their product is to be a maximum.
Srep 1: Represent one unknown quantity by x.

Since a < 1, the graph of the function opens downward. Thus, the vertex
is the maximum point of the graph. To find the maximum point, we will

where a= 1, b= 26, and c= 144. Since a > 1, the graph of the function
opens upward. Here, we are sure that the vertex is the minimum

“The minimum value of y is the y-coordinate of the vertex. This
occurs when x = -13. Note that this gives x + 12 1. Take note
also that the words “difference between the two numbers” means
the distance between the two numbers which is the absolute value
of their difference. That is |-13 - (-1)| = |-12| = 12. Therefore, the
number to be multiplied by 2 is ~13 and the number to be squared
is -1.
