Chapter 4 - Quadratic Functions - 4.1 Quadratic Functions and Parabolas - 4.1 Exercises - Page 300: 20

Answer

A) $(1,13)$ B) $(x<1)$ C) $x>1$ D) $(-2,0),\ (4,0)$ E) $(0,11.5)$ F) $f(-2)= 0$ G) $ x= -3$ and $ x= 5$

Work Step by Step

A) The graph shows that when $x=1$, $y= 13$. The vertex of the function is at $(1, 13)$. B) The function is increasing for $x<1$. C)The function is decreasing for $x> 1$. D The graph crosses the $x$-axis at the $x$ intercepts $(-2,0)$ and $(4,0)$. E) When $x= 0$, $y= 11.5$. The vertical intercept is at $(0,11.5)$. F) We see that $f(-2) = 0 $. G) We see that $f(x) = -10$ for $ x= -3$ and $ x= 5$.
