From the construction on the graph:
{b) The minimum value of Y, Yuin = 6.25
{¢) The equation ofthe axis of symmetry is x= | 5
From te consruction on the graph it can be seen:
(i) The tuning point onthe graph of the quadratic
function
(ayy = + Ile ~ 4)} is PULS, ~625)
(i) The minimum value ofthe quadratic function
(dx yry= (+ Dlx = 4)} is J
and it occurs when x = 1.5
