• 1.1 (Functions)
  Can you think of other examples of functions from everyday life?
• 1.3
  Find the maximum and mimimum of the following functions on the intervals indicated.
• (a) f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 2 for 0 =< x =< 3
• (b) g(x) = -x^2 + 2x + 4 for 0 =< x =< 3
• Hint: 1.3:6
  The average number of sets in the inventory is half the number ordered each time. So, if you order 30 TV's at a time, the average number of TV's in the inventory is 15. If you order x TV's at a time, the average number of TV's in the inventory is x/2.
• Hint: 1.6: 3 & 4
  The words are somewhat ambiguous. However, I beleive that in the three cases the net worth of the individual at the end is $510,000, $10,000, and $5,000 respectively.
