Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A
(2x - 5)(x + 1)
B)
The x intrcepts occur when the factors equal zero.
2x - 5 = 0
2x = 5
x = 5/2
x = 2 1/2
C
I will give the the minimum from completing the square
y = 2(x - 0.75)^2 - 6.125
as x approaches + infinity, y approaches + infinity.
as x approaches - infinity, y approaches + infinity.
It's a quadratic. The y values go to plus infinity, when x goes from - infinity to + infinity.
D
Desmos is the most useful tool for this part of the question. What it shows is the two roots and the minimum at (0.75,-6.125. A parabola does what the end behavior describes. The roots are clearly labeled as is the minimum.
