Cuts The X-Axis at X - 2 and X 8, Graph 0 (Above X-Axis)

1. The document provides information about quadratic functions including their shape based on the sign of a, completing the square to write quadratic functions in standard form, finding the axis of symmetry and minimum/maximum points, and solving quadratic inequalities graphically. 2. Examples are given to write quadratic functions in standard form, find the axis of symmetry and minimum point, and solve equations by completing the square. 3. The last part asks the reader to show that the quadratic function 3x-2-2x^2 is always negative by showing it has no real roots, and to find the range of values for x given two equations that can be used to eliminate y.

i)a>0, minimum point (-p,q) a<0, maximum point (-p,q)

ii)axis of symmetry is x=-p

C. Quadratic inequality: Graphical method

i)(x+2)(x-8)>0

Cuts the x-axis at x=-2 and x=8 ,

graph >0 (above x-axis)

x<-2, x>8

ii) (x+2)(x-8) �0

cuts the x-axis at x=-2 and x=8

graph �0 (below x-axis including points on the axis)

1. Diagram shows the graph of a quadratic function y=f(x). The straight line
y=  4 is a tangent to the curve y=f(x).

(a) Write the equation of the axis of symmetry of the curve

(b) Express f(x) in the form ( x  b) 2  c ,where b and c are constants.

Solutions:

(a) x=3 note: x=(1+5)/2 mid point

(b) from graph, min point is (3,-4) so f(x) is (x-3) 2-4


2. (a) Express 2x2-2x+5 in the form a ( x  p )2  q , (b) find axis of symmetry and coordinates of
minimum point.

Solution:

Method 1: use a=2, expand 2( x  p ) 2  q and compare with 2x2-2x+5

Method 2:

4. Show that quadratic function 3x-2-2x 2 is negative for all values of x.

Note: show this quadratic graph of I shape never cuts the x-axis, that is no real roots.

Solution:

a=-2 b=3 c=-2

b2-4ac=(3)2-4(-2)(-2)=9-16=-5

since b2-4ac<0,

3x-2-2x2 is negative for all values of x.

5. Given y-x+8=0 and xy>16, find the range of values of x.

Solution: note :Eliminate y by substitution method

From y-x+6=0 , y=x-6

xy>16

x(x-6)>16

x2-6x-16>0

solve quadratic inequality by graphical method

(x-8)(x+2)>0

Choose above x-axis,

X<2 , x>8
