analytic geometry Quadratic Functions: Factored Form Assignment
Which graph represents the function f(x) = (x - 3)2?
graph C
Graph the function f(x) = (x + 1)(x - 5). Use the drop-down menus to complete the steps needed to graph the function. Identify the x-intercepts: (-1, 0) and (5, 0) Find the midpoint between the intercepts: (2, 0) Find the vertex: Find the y-intercept: Plot another point, then draw the graph.
(2,-9) (0,-5)
Explain how you could write a quadratic function in factored form that would have a vertex with an x-coordinate of 3 and two distinct roots.
sample response : The vertex is on the axis of symmetry, so the axis of symmetry is x = 3. Find any two x-intercepts that have the equivalent distance from the axis of symmetry. Use those x-intercepts to write factors of the function by subtracting their values from x. For example, 2 and 4 are each 1 unit from x = 3, so f(x) = (x - 2)(x - 4) is a possible function.
Mr. Walker gave his class the function f(x) = (x + 3)(x + 5). Four students made a claim about the function. Each student's claim is below. Jeremiah: The y-intercept is at (15, 0). Lindsay: The x-intercepts are at (-3, 0) and (5, 0). Stephen: The vertex is at (-4, -1). Alexis: The midpoint between the x-intercepts is at (4, 0). Which student's claim about the function is correct? The claim by is correct.
Stephen
