23.6.6 The Full Modeling Workflow

Core idea

Set the variable, write the function, fix the range, find the vertex, and answer the original question — five steps to work through any word problem.

Module goal. Use the vertex to find the maximum or minimum, and translate everyday optimization problems into a quadratic model.
