B. First off , standard form of a 2nd degree equation is Ax^2 + Bx + C. So look at the coefficient of Ax^2 which is -2.
If positive, the parabola opens up and has a minimum.
If negative, the parabola opens down and has a maximum.

A. To find the vertex (in this case maximum),
Graph the equation -OR—
make a table. — OR—
Find the zeroes and find the middle x-value
-2x^2 - 4x + 6
-2(x^2 +2x - 3 = 0
-2 (x - 1) ( x + 3)=0
x - 1 = 0. x + 3 = 0
x = 1. x = -3. So halfway would be at (-1, __).
Sub in -1 into original equation -2x^2 -4x + 6 … -2(-1)^2 -4(-1) + 6 = -2 +4 +6 = 8
So the vertex is (-1,8)

Answer:

Part a:f(x)=-2(x+1)^2+8

Part b: Maximum value

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a.

The given function is f(x)=-2x^2-4x+6.

We need to complete the square to obtain the vertex form

f(x)=-2(x^2+2x)+6

Add and subtract the square of half the coefficient of x.

f(x)=-2(x^2+2x+(1)^2)--2(1)^2+6

f(x)=-2(x^2+2x+1)+2+6

The quadratic trinomial within the parenthesis is now a perfect square

f(x)=-2(x+1)^2+8

The vertex form is f(x)=-2(x+1)^2+8

Part b

Comparing f(x)=-2(x+1)^2+8 to f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k, we have a=-2.

Since a is negative the vertex is a maximum point.

Hence the function has a maximum value

Write an equation of the line that passes through (-5, -2) and is parallel to y = 2/3x+1
rewona [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so the slope has to be the same because it’s parallel.

y=2/3x+1

slope=2/3

y=-2

x=-5

y=2/3x+ what

-2=-3 1/3 + what

1 1/3

hence, y=2/3x+4/3

I need the domain range and function. With an explanation
erastovalidia [21]
<h3>Answers:</h3>

Problem 1

  • Domain = -3 < x \le 3, interval notation (-3, 3]
  • Range = -3 \le y < 3, interval notation [-3, 3)
  • Is it a function? Yes

Problem 2

  • Domain = x \ge -2, interval notation [-2, \infty)
  • Range = All real numbers, interval notation (-\infty, \infty)
  • Is it a function? No

Problem 3

  • Domain = -4 \le x < 3, interval notation [-4, 3)
  • Range = -4 < y \le 3, interval notation (-4, 3]
  • Is it a function? Yes

Problem 4

  • Domain = All real numbers, interval notation (-\infty, \infty)
  • Range = y \le 4, interval notation (-\infty, 4]
  • Is it a function? Yes

==================================================

Explanations:

  1. The left most point is when x = -3, and we are not including this value due to the open hole. The other endpoint is included because it is a filled in circle. The domain is therefore -3 < x \le 3 which in interval notation is (-3, 3]. We have the curved parenthesis meaning "exclude endpoint" and the square bracket says "include endpoint". The range is a similar story but we're looking at the smallest and largest y values. Though be careful about which endpoint is open/closed. We have a function because it passes the vertical line test.
  2. The smallest x value is x = -2. There is no largest x value because the arrows say to go on forever to the right. We can say the domain is x \ge -2 which in interval notation is [-2, \infty). The range is (-\infty, \infty) to indicate "all real numbers". This graph fails the vertical line test, so it is not a function. The vertical line test is where we check to see if we can pass a vertical line through more than one point on the curve. In this case, such a thing is possible which is why it fails the test.
  3. This is the same idea as problem 1, though note the endpoints are flipped in terms of which has an open circle and which doesn't. It is not possible to draw a single vertical line to have it pass through more than one point on the curve, so it passes the vertical line test and we have a function.
  4. This is a function because it passes the vertical line test. The domain is the set of all real numbers due to the arrows in both directions. Any x value is a possible input. The range is y \le 4 which is the same as saying (-\infty, 4] in interval notation. This is because y = 4 is the largest y value possible. There is no smallest y value due to the arrows.
