Math Problem Statement

A quadratic function is represented by the equation f(x) = -2x^2 + 12x - 10. The graph of this function is shown. Determine the function's domain.

Solution

The graph provided represents a quadratic function, and you are asked to determine the function's domain.

A quadratic function, such as the one shown here, typically has a domain that includes all real numbers. This is because quadratic functions are defined for every value of xx.

In this case, the graph is a parabola, and since it extends infinitely in both the left and right directions along the xx-axis, the domain is all real numbers.

Thus, the domain of the function is:

(,)(-\infty, \infty)

Here are some related questions:

  1. How can you find the vertex of a quadratic function from its graph?
  2. What does the "range" of a quadratic function refer to?
  3. How can the coefficients of the quadratic function f(x)=ax2+bx+cf(x) = ax^2 + bx + c affect the graph?
  4. What is the axis of symmetry in a quadratic function's graph?
  5. How do you solve quadratic equations using the quadratic formula?

Tip: When identifying the domain and range of a function, always observe whether the function has any restrictions or if it extends infinitely in any direction.
