Math Problem Statement

Analyze the parabolas labeled f and g in the provided graph.

Solution

This image depicts two parabolas, labeled ff (blue curve) and gg (green curve). Both graphs represent quadratic functions. Let us analyze their properties based on the image:

  1. General Observations:

    • f(x)f(x): A parabola that opens upwards and has its vertex at approximately (1,1)(-1, 1).
    • g(x)g(x): A parabola that opens upwards and has its vertex at approximately (3,1)(3, 1).
  2. Intercepts:

    • The yy-intercept for f(x)f(x) is approximately 2.
    • The yy-intercept for g(x)g(x) is approximately 10.
  3. Intersection:

    • The two parabolas intersect at around x=1x = 1 and x=2x = 2.

Would you like to explore:

  1. The equations of the functions f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x)?
  2. The intersection points in detail?
  3. Any transformations between f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x)?
  4. Specific properties such as axis of symmetry or vertex forms?
  5. The domain and range of both functions?

Tip: Parabolas in the form f(x)=ax2+bx+cf(x) = ax^2 + bx + c can be analyzed for their vertex, direction, and width by adjusting the coefficients aa, bb, and cc.
