Math Problem Statement

f(x) = -1/2x^2 + 4x + 5

Solution

The function provided in the image is:

f(x)=12x2+4x+5f(x) = -\frac{1}{2}x^2 + 4x + 5

How can I assist you with this function? For example, I can:

  1. Find the vertex of the parabola (maximum point, since it opens downward).
  2. Determine the roots (x-intercepts) using the quadratic formula.
  3. Identify the y-intercept.
  4. Analyze its domain and range.
  5. Plot the graph of the function.

Let me know which analysis you'd like, or if you'd like detailed solutions!
