Given:
The function is:
To find:
Express the quadratic equation in the form of , then state the minimum or maximum value,axis of symmetry and minimum or maximum point.
Solution:
The vertex form of a quadratic function is:
...(i)
Where, a is a constant, (h,k) is the vertex and x=h is the axis of symmetry.
We have,
It can be written as:
Adding and subtracting square of half of coefficient of x inside the parenthesis, we get
...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get
Here, a is negative, the given function represents a downward parabola and its vertex is the point of maxima.
Maximum value = 10.125
Axis of symmetry :
Maximum point = (1.75,10.125)
Therefore, the vertex form of the given function is , the maximum value is 10.125, the axis of symmetry is
and the maximum point is (1.75,10.125).
Equation of a line:
m = gradient: The difference between two y points and two x points.
c = y-intercept: Where the line crosses the y-axis (x=0)
You have:
so you are missing the m and the c.
To calculate m find two y coordinates -you have (12, <u>7</u>) and (0, <u>1</u>)- and subtract them. Then divide this by the subtracted values of the x coordinates -you have (<u>12</u>, 7) and (<u>0</u>, 1)- This gives:
To calculate the c, you just see where the line crosses the y-axis. Because you have the point (0, 1), you know that when x=0, y=1. Because x=0 is on the y-axis, you can tell that the line passes through y=1. This makes your c = 1:
When you plug these values into the equation you get your answer:
