Answer:

(x+1)(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic in factored form is usually expressed as: a(x\pm a)(x \pm b) where the sign of a and b depends on the sign of the zero. And I said "usually" since sometimes the x will have a coefficient. Anyways in the quadratic there are two zeroes at x=-1 and x=3. This can be written as: a(x+1)(x-3). Notice how the signs are different? This is because when you plug in -1 as x you get a factor of (-1+1) which becomes 0 and it makes the entire thing zero since when you multiply by 0, you get 0. Same thing for the x-3 if you plug in x=3. Now a is in front and it can influence the stretch/compression. To find the value of a, you can take any point (except for the zeroes, because it will make the entire thing zero, and you can technically input anything in as a)

I'll use the point (1, -4) the vertex

-4 = a(1+1)(1-3)

-4 = a(2)(-2)

-4 = -4a

1 = a. So yeah the value of a is 1

So the equation is just: (x+1)(x-3)

A function is created to represent the costs of living per person in the family. What restrictions would be made to the domain?
Nitella [24]

Let

x-------> the number of persons in the family

f(x)------> the function represent the cost of living

we know that

The domain of the function  would only include positive integers, because the number of persons can not be negative or a fraction

The range of the function would only include positive numbers, because the cost can not be negative

therefore

<u>the answer is the option B</u>

The domain would only include positive integers.
