Question

Match each quadratic graph to its respective function

Answer 1

The guy above me was right. i accidently put in the answers in the wrong order so i thought it was wrong and rated it 1 star

Explanation:

Answer 2

f(x) = (x - 3)(x + 1) → Corresponds with the first (raised higher ) ∪ shaped graph

f(x) = -2(x - 1)((x + 3) → Corresponds with the ∩ shaped graph

f(x) = 0.5(x - 6)((x + 2) → Corresponds with the second (lower) ∪ shaped graph

Explanation:

For the function f(x) = (x - 3)(x + 1)

We have;

When x = 0, y = -3

When y = 0 x = 3 or -1

Comparing with the graphs, it best suits the first ∪ shaped graph that rises here than the other ∪ shaped graph

For the function;

f(x) = -2(x - 1)((x + 3)

When x = 0, y = 6

When y = 0, x = 1 or -3

Which corresponds with the ∩ shaped graph

For the function;

f(x) = 2(x + 6)((x - 2)

When x = 0, y = -24

When y = 0, x = -6 or 2

Graph not included

For the function;

f(x) = 0.5(x - 6)((x + 2)

When x = 0, y = -6

When y = 0, x = 6 or -2

Which best suits the second ∪ shaped graph that is lower than the other (first) ∪ shaped graph

For the function;

f(x) = 0.5(x + 6)((x - 2)

When x = 0, y = -6

When y = 0, x = -6 or 2

Graph not included

For the function;

f(x) = (x + 3)((x - 1)

When x = 0, y = -3

When y = 0, x = -3 or 1
