Sketch the graph of the quadratic functions in Exercises 1 and 2, indicating the coordinates of the vertex, the y-intercept, and the x-intercepts (if any).
To graph: The function
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The provided function is
Graph:
Consider the function,
Compare the equation
The values are
Here
To graph a quadratic function, four things should be calculated first.
(i) Vertex
(ii) x-intercept
(iii)y-intercept
(iv) Symmetry
Vertex: The formula of x- coordinate of a vertex is,
Substitute
To find the y-coordinate of vertex, substitute
Thus, coordinates of the vertex are
To calculate the x-intercept of the function, substitute
Therefore,
Now solve for
Now solve for
Thus, x-intercept are
To calculate the y-intercept, substitute
Thus, the y-intercept is
Symmetry:
The formula of the symmetry line is,
Substitute
So, the line of symmetry is
Now plot the graph.
Interpretation:
The graph of

- In Exercises 57-62, find two quadratic functions, one that opens upward and one that opens downward, whose graphs have the given x-intercepts (There are many correct answers.) (5,0),(5,0)arrow_forwardIn Exercises 5-8, match the quadratic function with its graph. [ Thegraphsarelabeled(a),(b),(c),and(d). ] f(x)=x22arrow_forwardIn Exercises 13-26, write the quadratic function in standard form and sketch its graph. Identify the vertex, axis of symmetry, and x-intercept(s). f(x)=x26xarrow_forward
- In Exercises 27-34, use a graphing utility to graph the quadratic function. Identify the vertex, axis of symmetry, and x-intercept(s). Then check your results algebraically by writing the quadratic function in standard form. f(x)=(x2+2x3)arrow_forwardIn Exercises 35 and 36, write the standard form of the quadratic function whose graph is the parabola shown.arrow_forward
