Math Problem Statement
Graph the function f(x)= -2(x+3)^2.
Solution
Here is the graph of the function . The graph is a downward-facing parabola, as indicated by the negative coefficient in front of the squared term. The vertex of the parabola is at , and it opens downward due to the negative sign.
Would you like further details or have any questions about this graph?
Here are some related questions you might find interesting:
- How does changing the coefficient affect the width of the parabola?
- What happens if we shift the function horizontally or vertically?
- How does the value of change as moves further from the vertex?
- What is the domain and range of this function?
- How would this graph change if the function were ?
Tip: The coefficient of the squared term in a parabola controls whether it opens upwards (positive) or downwards (negative) and affects its steepness.
