Solution

I see you've uploaded an image containing a series of quadratic function problems. Let me read and help you solve these questions one by one.

Questions Summary:

For Nos. 1-3:

  1. Boundary points of the quadratic function y=x2+12x28y = x^2 + 12x - 28: This involves finding the roots (x-intercepts) by solving x2+12x28=0x^2 + 12x - 28 = 0.

  2. Constant value of the y-intercept: The y-intercept is the value when x=0x = 0.

  3. Vertex of the quadratic function: The vertex can be found using the formula x=b2ax = -\frac{b}{2a} for the quadratic function ax2+bx+cax^2 + bx + c.

For Nos. 4-6: This deals with the quadratic function y=x2+45y = x^2 + 45.

  1. X-intercept values: Solve x2+45=0x^2 + 45 = 0 for x.

  2. Y-intercept constant: This is the value of the function when x=0x = 0.

  3. Vertex points: Using the same vertex formula to find the vertex of the function.

For Nos. 7-8: Focus on the quadratic function y=x2+10x+24y = x^2 + 10x + 24.

  1. Axis of symmetry: The axis of symmetry is given by x=b2ax = -\frac{b}{2a}.

  2. Range of the quadratic function: Since this is a parabola that opens upwards, the range starts from the y-value of the vertex.

For Nos. 9-10: These problems involve specific word problems using quadratic models.

  1. Maximum height of the rocket: The quadratic function here describes the height of the rocket over time. The maximum height corresponds to the vertex of the parabola.

  2. Maximum height of fireworks: Solve for the maximum height using the vertex formula for the given quadratic function.

Let me calculate these step by step.Here are the solutions to the quadratic problems from the image:

  1. Boundary points of the quadratic function y=x2+12x28y = x^2 + 12x - 28: The roots (x-intercepts) are x=14x = -14 and x=2x = 2.

  2. Y-intercept of the quadratic function y=x2+12x28y = x^2 + 12x - 28: The y-intercept is 28-28 (when x=0x = 0).

  3. Vertex of the quadratic function y=x2+12x28y = x^2 + 12x - 28: The vertex is (6,64)(-6, -64).

  4. X-intercepts of the quadratic function y=x2+45y = x^2 + 45: There are no real x-intercepts because the solutions are complex numbers ±35i\pm 3\sqrt{5}i.

  5. Y-intercept of the quadratic function y=x2+45y = x^2 + 45: The y-intercept is 4545.

  6. Vertex of the quadratic function y=x2+45y = x^2 + 45: The vertex is (0,45)(0, 45).

  7. Axis of symmetry of the quadratic function y=x2+10x+24y = x^2 + 10x + 24: The axis of symmetry is x=5x = -5.

  8. Range of the quadratic function y=x2+10x+24y = x^2 + 10x + 24: The range is y1y \geq -1, or (1,)(-1, ∞).

Let me know if you need more details or have any questions!

Here are 5 additional related questions to explore further:

  1. How do you derive the formula for the vertex of a quadratic equation?
  2. Can a quadratic function have no x-intercepts, and why?
  3. What is the physical significance of the vertex in real-world problems like the rocket height example?
  4. How does the axis of symmetry relate to the vertex?
  5. Why do some quadratics have complex solutions?

Tip: When solving quadratic equations, the discriminant b24acb^2 - 4ac helps determine the nature of the roots (real or complex).
