y-intercept: (0, 1)
Line of symmetry calculation: x = -b/2a = -(-2)/2(2) = 0.5
Line of symmetry: x = 0.5
Open UP or DOWN: Opens UP
Min or Max: Min
Vertex: (0.5, 0.5)
Domain: {x|x ∈ ℝ}
Range: {y|y ≥ 1/2}
Answer:
(a) yes it does
(b) the rate is constant because the rate of change (slope) is the same throughout the function.
(c) The rate, or rate of change, is -1/2.
y1 - y2/x1-x2
4 - 2/3 - 9
2/-6
-1/2
It is about 41.4% according to my TI-83/84 calculator.
My guess would be x = -30
