Sketch the quadratic function f(x) = x2 + 4x + 3. Which key feature of the graph is given incorrectly?
2 answers:
Given quadratic function
Let us find vertex of the graph first.
x-coordinate of the vertex = -b/2a = -4/2(1) = -4/2 = -2.
y-coordinate of the vertex = (-2)^2+4(-2)+3 = 4-8+3 = -1.
Therefore, vertex is at (-2,-1).
The leading coefficient of quadratic function f(x)= x^2+4x+3 is 1.
And it's a positive number.
So, the parabola open up and it would have a minimum at it's vertex point.
Let us find some more points on the graph :
x=-3
(-3)^2 +4(-3) +3 = 9 -12 +3 =0
x=-1
(-1)^2 +4(-1) +3 = 1 -4 +3 = 0.
<em>From the graph, we can see vertex is at (-2,-1) and x-intercepts at (-1,0), (-3,0) and y-intercept at (0,3).</em>
Therefore, following is the key feature of the graph is given incorrectly:
<h2>B) y-intercept (0, 2) </h2>

Call the point of intersection of the diagonals point X.
Each base is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle whose sides are the diagonals and whose 90° angle is at X. The altitude of that triangle (⊥ distance to the base from X) is half the length of the hypotenuse. Then the height of the trapezoid is half the sum of the base lengths.
The area of the trapezoid is the product of the height and half the sum of the base lengths, hence is the square of half the sum of the base lengths.
... Area = ((16 cm +30 cm)/2)² = (23 cm)² = 529 cm²
