Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's address the questions from the image. The task requires the following information for each quadratic function:
- Opening of the graph (up or down).
- Vertex of the parabola.
- Domain.
- Range.
- Equation of the axis of symmetry.
We'll analyze the three quadratic functions one by one.
1.
- (a) Opening of the graph: The coefficient of is positive (1), so the parabola opens upwards.
- (b) Vertex: This is in vertex form , where and . Thus, the vertex is (2, 3).
- (c) Domain: The domain of a quadratic function is always all real numbers: .
- (d) Range: Since the parabola opens upwards and the minimum value is (at the vertex), the range is .
- (e) Axis of symmetry: The axis of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex, so .
2.
- (a) Opening of the graph: The coefficient of is negative (-5), so the parabola opens downwards.
- (b) Vertex: The vertex form is , where and . The vertex is (2, -3).
- (c) Domain: Again, the domain is all real numbers: .
- (d) Range: Since the parabola opens downwards, the maximum value is (at the vertex), so the range is .
- (e) Axis of symmetry: The axis of symmetry is .
3.
- (a) Opening of the graph: The coefficient of is positive (4), so the parabola opens upwards.
- (b) Vertex: The vertex form is , where and . The vertex is (-3, -20).
- (c) Domain: The domain is all real numbers: .
- (d) Range: Since the parabola opens upwards and the minimum value is , the range is .
- (e) Axis of symmetry: The axis of symmetry is .
Would you like more details on any of these?
Here are five related questions for further understanding:
- How do you convert a quadratic function into vertex form if it's not already?
- What is the significance of the axis of symmetry in quadratic functions?
- How does the coefficient affect the shape of the parabola in terms of width?
- What happens to the graph if the value of in changes?
- How do you determine the range if you only have the vertex form?
Tip: In the quadratic function , the value of controls the direction of the parabola's opening and its steepness. If , the parabola opens upwards; if , it opens downwards.
