Answer 1

The quadratic equation given in the graph can be represented in these two following ways:

• Factored: f(x) = 2x(x - 4).

• Vertex form: y = 2(x - 2)² - 8.

What is the Factor Theorem?

The Factor Theorem states that a polynomial function with roots $x_1, x_2, \codts, x_n$ is given by:

$f(x) = a(x - x_1)(x - x_2) \cdots (x - x_n)$

In which a is the leading coefficient.

In this graph, the roots are $x_1 = 0, x_2 = 4$, hence the factored form of the polynomial is:

f(x) = ax(x - 4).

When x = 5, y = 10, hence the leading coefficient is found as follows:

10 = 5a(5 - 4)

5a = 10

a = 2.

Hence the factored form of the polynomial is:

f(x) = 2x(x - 4).

What is the equation of a parabola given it’s vertex?

The equation of a quadratic function, of vertex (h,k), is given by:

y = a(x - h)² + k

In which a is the leading coefficient.

In this problem, the vertex is at point (2,-8), hence h = 2, k = -8 and:

y = a(x - 2)² - 8

When x = 5, y = 10, hence the leading coefficient is found as follows:

10 = a(5 - 2)² - 8

9a = 18

a = 2.

Hence the equation in vertex-form is:

y = 2(x - 2)² - 8
