Chapter 4 - Quadratic Functions - 4.1 Quadratic Functions and Parabolas - 4.1 Exercises - Page 300: 18

Answer

A) $(-2,-20)$ B) $(x>-2)$ C) $x<-2$ D) $(-1,0),\ (9,0)$ E) $(0,9)$ F) $f(6)= 15$

Work Step by Step

A) The graph shows that when $x=-2$, $y= -20$. The vertex of the function is at $(-2, -20)$. B) The function is increasing for $x> -2$. C)The function is decreasing for $x< -2$. D The graph crosses the $x$-axis at the $x$ intercepts $(-8,0)$ and $(4,0)$. E) When $x= 0$, $y= 18$. The vertical intercept is at $(0,18)$. F) We see that $f(6) = 15$.
