NEED HELP ASAP MAKE IT NEAT AND NOT TOO LONG!!!!

Use the function f(x) = 2x^2 − 3x − 5 to answer the questions.

Part A: Completely factor f(x). (2 points)

Part B: What are the x-intercepts of the graph of f(x)? Show your work. (2 points)

Part C: Describe the end behavior of the graph of f(x). Explain. (2 points)

Part D: What are the steps you would use to graph f(x)? Justify that you can use the answers obtained in Part B and Part C to draw the graph. (4 points)

Answer:

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.
