Question

The graph above is a transformation of the function x2 Write an equation for the function graphed above

Answer 1

Answer: y=0,5x²-x-1,5.

Explanation:

`(-1;0)\ \ \ \ (3;0)\ \ \ \ (1;-2) \ \ \ \ y=ax^2+bx+c\ ?\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a*(-1)^2+b*(-1)+c=0\\a*3^2+b*3+c=0\\a*1^2+b*1+c=-2\end{array}\right \ \ \ \ \ \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a-b+c=0\ \ (1)\\9a+3b+c=0\ (2)\\a+b+c=-2\ (3)\end{array}\right \\`

We summarize (1) and (3):

`2a+2c=-2\ |:2\\a+c=-1\ \ \ \ \Rightarrow\\a+b+c=-2\\(a+s)+b=-2\\-1+b=-2\\b=-1.`

Substitute b=-1 into (2):

`9a+3*(-1)+c=0\\9a-3+c=0\\9a+c=3\ \ (5).\\`

From (5) subtract (4):

`8a=4\ |:8\\a=0,5.\ \ \ \ \Rightarrow\\`

Substitute a=0,5 into (4):

`0,5+c=-1\\c=-1,5.`

Hense:

y=0,5x²-x-1,5.
