PLEASE HELP

Use the function f(x) to answer the questions.

f(x) = −16x2 + 22x + 3

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

Part B: Is the vertex of the graph of f(x) going to be a maximum or a minimum? What are the coordinates of the vertex? Justify your answers and show your work. (3 points)

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. (5 points)

First graph

  • y=-16x^2+22x+3(Graph attached)

#A

Use quadratic formula


\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=(-b\pm√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)


\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=(-22\pm√(484+192))/(-32)


\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=(-22\pm√(676))/(-32)]/tex]</p><p>[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=(-22\pm 26)/(-32)


\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=(-1)/(8)\:or\:(3)/(2)


\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=-0.125\:or\:1.5

#B

Vertex will be maximum

Coordinates are

  • (0.688,10.563)

#C

  • We have to find x intercepts (Part A)
  • Then vertex(Part B)
  • Then we can graph it

\sf f(x) = -16x^2 + 22x + 3

Part A

To find x-intercepts, the f(x) will be 0


\sf \hookrightarrow -16x^2 + 22x + 3=0


\sf \hookrightarrow -16x^2 + 24x -2x+ 3=0


\sf \hookrightarrow -8x(2x-3)-1(2x- 3)=0


\sf \hookrightarrow (-8x-1)(2x+ 3)=0


\sf \hookrightarrow -8x-1=0 , \ 2x+ 3=0


\sf \hookrightarrow x=-0.125 , \ x=1.5

find y-intercept:

to find y-intercept, x will be 0


\sf f(x) = -16(0)^2 + 22(0) + 3


\sf f(x) = 3

Part B

To find vertex use the formula: x = -b/2(a)


\sf \rightarrow x = (-22)/(2(-16))


\sf \rightarrow x = 0.6875

find y coordinates:


\sf f(x) = -16(0.6875)^2 + 22(0.6875) + 3


\sf f(x) =10.5625

coordinates of vertex: (0.6875, 10.5625)


  • \bold{\mathrm{If}\:a < 0,\:\mathrm{then\:the\:vertex\:is\:a\:maximum\:value}}

  • \bold{\mathrm{If}\:a > 0,\:\mathrm{then\:the\:vertex\:is\:a\:minimum\:value}}

As its positive and greater than 0, the vertex will be Maximum.

part C

To draw the graph, simplify point the vertex on the graph. Then point both the x-intercepts. Also the y-intercept and draw the curve with free hand.
