Math Problem Statement
Find the range and domain of the quadratic function with vertex (3, 0) and the graph shown.
Solution
The graph shows a quadratic function with its vertex at , and it opens downward.
Domain:
- The domain of a quadratic function is always all real numbers unless there are restrictions, which is not the case here. So, the domain is:
Range:
- The vertex is at , and since the parabola opens downward, the maximum value occurs at . The function can take any value less than or equal to 0. Hence, the range is:
Let me know if you need further explanation, or if you'd like to discuss any of these points.
Relative Questions:
- What is the general form of a quadratic function, and how does it relate to its graph?
- How do you determine if a quadratic opens upwards or downwards based on its equation?
- How can the vertex of a quadratic function be found from its equation in standard form?
- What is the significance of the domain and range in real-world applications of quadratic functions?
- How do transformations like shifting and scaling affect the domain and range of a function?
Tip:
Always remember, for a parabola, the domain is typically all real numbers unless specific constraints are provided. The range is influenced by the vertex and the direction the parabola opens.
