Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image contains a graph of a quadratic function (a parabola) and questions related to the graph. Let's analyze the graph and provide answers to the questions (11–15):
-
Question 11: y-intercept
- The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis. From the graph, this appears to be at .
-
Question 12: Vertex
- The vertex of the parabola is the lowest point on the graph since it's an upward-facing parabola. The vertex appears to be at the point .
-
Question 13: Axis of Symmetry
- The axis of symmetry is the vertical line that passes through the vertex. This line is .
-
Question 14: Domain
- The domain of any quadratic function is all real numbers, so the domain is .
-
Question 15: Range
- The range is the set of possible y-values the function can take. Since the parabola opens upwards and the vertex is at , the range is .
Would you like further explanations on any of these points or have any questions?
Here are five related questions for further practice:
- What is the general form of a quadratic function?
- How do you find the vertex of a parabola algebraically?
- What other methods can you use to find the axis of symmetry?
- How does the direction of a parabola (upward or downward) affect its range?
- What are the conditions for a quadratic function to have no real x-intercepts?
Tip: The axis of symmetry of a parabola given by the equation is always .

Formulas
y = ax^2 + bx + c (Standard form of a quadratic function)
x = -b / 2a (Axis of symmetry formula)
Vertex form: y = a(x - h)^2 + k
Theorems
The axis of symmetry is always x = -b / 2a for quadratic functions.
The vertex represents either the maximum or minimum point of the parabola.
