Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image contains a math question related to quadratic functions. Let's break down the two questions:
For question 693: The function provided is , and the problem asks which explanation is correct regarding its graph. The options are:
- The graph passes through all quadrants.
- The axis of symmetry is .
- The vertex of the graph is .
- The graph intersects the x-axis at and .
- The equation is the same as .
To find the correct option:
- The vertex of the parabola is given by , where the general form is .
- For the given equation, , , and .
- The vertex is at .
- Substituting into the equation to find , we get: So, the vertex is , and the axis of symmetry is , not .
Therefore, the correct option should be the one that reflects the vertex .
For question 694: The function is , and we are asked to find such that the graph moves in the direction where is increasing when is increasing.
To solve for , the axis of symmetry for this quadratic equation is found similarly by the formula . Here:
- , , and .
- The axis of symmetry is at .
The graph will open upwards because , and the direction of motion will be increasing in the positive -direction for increasing .
The value refers to the coefficient that would result in this behavior for .
