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 (3,0)(3, 0), 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: (,)(-\infty, \infty)

Range:

  • The vertex is at (3,0)(3, 0), and since the parabola opens downward, the maximum value occurs at y=0y = 0. The function can take any value less than or equal to 0. Hence, the range is: (,0](-\infty, 0]

Let me know if you need further explanation, or if you'd like to discuss any of these points.

Relative Questions:

  1. What is the general form of a quadratic function, and how does it relate to its graph?
  2. How do you determine if a quadratic opens upwards or downwards based on its equation?
  3. How can the vertex of a quadratic function be found from its equation in standard form?
  4. What is the significance of the domain and range in real-world applications of quadratic functions?
  5. 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.
