Math Problem Statement

Give the domain and range of the quadratic function whose graph is described. Maximum = -3 at x = 8.

Solution

The problem describes a quadratic function with a maximum value of 3-3 at x=8x = 8.

Domain of a Quadratic Function:

The domain of any quadratic function is all real numbers since a parabola extends infinitely in both the positive and negative directions on the xx-axis.

Therefore, the domain of the function is: (,)(-\infty, \infty)

Would you like to explore the range or any further details?

Here are some related questions for further exploration:

  1. What is the range of the given quadratic function?
  2. How do you determine if a quadratic function opens upwards or downwards?
  3. Can a quadratic function have more than one maximum or minimum point?
  4. How does the vertex form of a quadratic function help in determining its properties?
  5. What is the significance of the axis of symmetry in a quadratic function?

Tip: When dealing with quadratic functions, identifying the vertex can help quickly determine both the maximum or minimum value and the range.
