Q1. A farmer uses 1000 metres of fencing to construct a rectangular-shaped field. His land is located alongside a river, so he only needs to fence three sides of the field. There is also a rectangular-shaped dam of area 5000 m2 within the field.

Let x be the width of the two shorter sides of the field.


a. If y is the length of the field, express y in terms of x. Let A m2 be the area of the farmable land inside the fence.

b. Show that A= -2x2 + 1000x - 5000

c. Sketch the graph of A= -2x2 + 1000x - 5000

d. Use your calculator to find the coordinates of the turning point of the graph.

e. Find the dimensions of the field which gives the maximum farmable area, and state the maximum area?

f. Either by completing the square or otherwise, express the rule for A in the form A= a(x-h)2+k


Q2. The number of tables N sold by an outdoor furniture store during a particular year can be

approximated by the equation: N= m2 -14m+71 where m is the number of months into the year, m ∈ [1,12].


a. Sketch the graph of the sales for the store over 12 months

b. How many tables did the store sell in March?

c. In which months did the store sell 47 tables?

d. What is the minimum number of tables sold in a month and in which month did this happen?

The store needs to sell at least 24 tables in a month in order to make a profit.

e. For how many months of the year did the store make a profit?
