Question

PLEASE HELP! PLEASE SHOW WORK

Use the following expression to answer this three part question:
f(x) = 2x2 + 4x − 6

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

Part B: Is the vertex of the graph of f(x) going to be a maximum or minimum? What are the coordinates of the vertex? Justify your answers and show your work.

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

Answer 1

Explanation:

The graph of a quadratic function is a U-shaped curve called a parabola. One important feature of the graph is that it has an extreme point, called the vertex. If the parabola opens up, the vertex represents the lowest point on the graph, or the minimum value of the quadratic function.
