Question

Please help me solve this guys pleasee im struggling

Answer 1

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x^2 +2x - 8

Factor

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

The zeros are

x+4 = 0  x-2 = 0    

x= -4    x= 2

(-4,0)  (2,0)

The axis of symmetry is 1/2 way between the zeros

(-4+2)/2 = -2/2 = -1

x = -1

The x coordinate of the vertex is at the axis of symmetry

The y value is found by substituting x=-1

y = (-1+4) (-1-2)= 3*-3 = -9

Vertex ( -1,-9)

The domain is all real numbers

The range is from -9 up

y≥ -9  since it opens upward
