I have really harder time figureing word problems because English is my second language not primary one, so please help? You only have to pick one if you want.

1. Using a context of quadratic functions and their graphs, explain the concept of optimization to someone without a background in mathematics.

2. Consider what you know about the relative locations of the vertex and x-intercepts of the graph of a quadratic function. Describe in detail how the quadratic formula defines these points algebraically.

1. Optimization occurs at the maximum point of a quadratic graph. The top of the U-curve is the value where optimization occurs. A ball thrown into the air will only go up so high. That point is the maximum for the graph.

2. The x-intercepts are the solutions to the quadratic equation, the zero of the function. The vertex of this graph determines the line of symmetry for the function.
