Work Step by Step

Rewrite f(x) in standard form, $f(x)=a(x-h)^{2}+k$, read the vertex, (h,x) For the y-intercept, calculate f(0) For the x- intercept, solve f(x) = 0 for x. If $a>0$, parabola opens up, the vertex is a minimum point, If $a<0$, parabola opens down, the vertex is a maximum. With this information (and possible additional points) sketch a graph Read the graph for range and domain. ------------------ a. $ f(x)=x^{2}+8x \quad$... complete the square $f(x)=x^{2}-2(4)x+4^{2}-4^{2}$ $f(x)=(x^{2}+8x+4^{2})-16$ $f(x)=(x+4)^{2}-16$ b. vertex: $(h,k)=(4, -16)$, a=1, opens up, the vertex is a minimum y-intercept: f(0) = $0$ x-intercepts: f(x)=0 $x^{2}+8x =0$ $x(x+8)=0$ x-intercepts: 0 and $-8$. c. see image (one pair of additional points, either side of the vertex). d. domain: all reals, $\mathbb{R}$ range: $[-16,\infty)$
