Answer:
2) (-∞, 17]
Step-by-step explanation:
The leading coefficient of the function is negative, so the parabola opens downward. The vertex will be a maximum, the upper end of the range. The lower end of the range will be -∞.
The vertex of the function lies on the axis of symmetry. The maximum can be found by evaluating the function at x=-4.
y = -(-4)² -8(-4) +1 = -16 +32 +1 = 17
The range of the function is (-∞, 17].
Answer:
I don't see how the three existing points could ever become a square with the addition of a foiurth point.
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached image.
A square would require that all angles be 90 degrees. The given points are the top three points on the graph. If we enter the two equations that intersect these points (blue and black lines), we can see that the angle on top is not 90 degrees. I can't see that this could ever be a square with a fourth point, z. I did find a value for z that make the four points a parallelogram.
