What is the vertex and y-intercept of f(x) = -2x^2 + 4x + 6

1 answer:

6 0

F(x)= -2x^2+4x+6
We can use -b/2a to find the line of symmetry
a= -2
b= 4
c= 6

and the x value for the line of symmetry gives you the x value for the vertex
-4/(2*-2)
-1=x

Plug this x value back into the function to find the y value for the vertex

f(x)= -2(-1)^2+(4*-1)+6
f(x)= -2+(-4)+6
f(x)= 0
the c value is the y intercept

Vertex: (-1,0)
Y intercept: 6

Check the picture below.

we know that AL is an angle bisector, so the angle at A gets cuts into two equal halves, we also know the angle at B is 30°, so the triangle ABC is really a 30-60-90 triangle, meaning the angle at A is really a 60° angle, cut in two halves gives us 30° and 30° as you see in the picture.

if the angles at A and B, inside the triangle ABL, are equal, twin angles are only made in an isosceles by twin sides, that means that AL = BL.

Looking at the triangle ALC, we can see is also another 30-60-90 triangle, and we can just use the 30-60-90 rule to get x=CL.
