Given:

The graph of a downward parabola.

To find:

The domain and range of the graph.

Solution:

Domain is the set of x-values or input values and range is the set of y-values or output values.

The graph represents a downward parabola and domain of a downward parabola is always the set of real numbers because they are defined for all real values of x.

Domain = R

Domain = (-∞,∞)

The maximum point of a downward parabola is the vertex. The range of the downward parabola is always the set of all real number which are less than or equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex.

From the graph it is clear that the vertex of the parabola is at point (5,-4). So, value of function cannot be greater than -4.

Range = All real numbers less than or equal to -4.

Range = (-∞,-4]

Therefore, the domain of the graph is (-∞,∞) and the range of the graph is (-∞,-4].

Find the x-intercepts of the parabola with vertex (1,1) and y-intercept (0,-3). Write your answer in this form (x of 1 , y of 1)

Vikki [24]

Remember that the vertex form of a parabola or quadratic equation is:

y=a(x-h)^2+k, where (h,k) is the "vertex" which is the maximum or minimum point of the parabola (and a is half the acceleration of the of the function, but that is maybe too much :P)

In this case we are given that the vertex is (1,1) so we have:

y=a(x-1)^2+1, and then we are told that there is a point (0,-3) so we can say:

-3=a(0-1)^2+1

-3=a+1

-4=a so our complete equation in vertex form is:

y=-4(x-1)^2+1

Now you wish to know where the x-intercepts are. x-intercepts are when the graph touches the x-axis, ie, when y=0 so

0=-4(x-1)^2+1 add 4(x-1)^2 to both sides

4(x-1)^2=1 divide both sides by 4

(x-1)^2=1/4 take the square root of both sides

x-1=±√(1/4) which is equal to

x-1=±1/2 add 1 to both sides

x=1±1/2

So x=0.5 and 1.5, thus the x-intercept points are:

(0.5, 0) and (1.5, 0) or if you like fractions:

(1/2, 0) and (3/2, 0) :P
