Select either the minimum or maximum function and identify a task - personal or professional - that could be modeled mathematically through your chosen function. Explain how the chosen function can be used in making good decisions. Configure an airplane to create the least amount of drag for an airplane in flight.

Select either the minimum or maximum function. Identify a task - personal or professional - that could be modeled mathematically through your chosen function. Explain how the chosen function be used in making good decisions. If you want to build a yard for your dogs and you have 800ft of fencing for 3 sides of the yard what is the maximum area that can be enclosed with that 800 feet of fencing?

Ask for maximum and minimum values of functions. They can all be done by the method of Example 9 A software company estimates that if it assigns $x$ programmers to work on the project, it can develop a new product in $T$ days, where $$T=100-30 x+3 x^{2}$$ How many programmers should the company assign in order to complete the development as quickly as possible?
