In developing quality-control procedures, a step-loss function has been used implicitly or explicitly to describe consumer perceptions about product quality. A quadratic loss function has been ...

Now try the example questions below. Since -1 < 0, then it is a maximum turning point. \({b^2} - 4ac\) where \(a = - 1,\,b = 2\,and\,c = - 3\) \(= {2^2} - (4 \times ...

Below is the graph of a quadratic function, showing where the function is increasing and decreasing. If we draw in the tangents to the curve, you will notice that if the gradient of the tangent is ...
