Pls someone , ill give ya brainliest : d

use the function f(x) to answer the questions:

f(x) = 4x2 + 8x − 5

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)

Part A) The x-intercepts are the points (-2.5,0) and (0.5,0)

Part B) The vertex is a minimum and the coordinates are (-1,-9)

Part C) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

Part A: What are the x-intercepts of the graph of f(x)?

we know that

The x-intercepts are the values of x when the value of the function f(x) is equal to zero

so

For f(x)=0

Solve the quadratic equation

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

is equal to

in this problem we have

so

substitute in the formula

therefore

The x-intercepts are the points (-2.5,0) and (0.5,0)

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?

we know that

The quadratic equation represent a vertical parabola open upward (because the leading coefficient is positive)

therefore

The vertex represent a minimum

Convert to vertex form

Factor 4

Complete the square

Rewrite as perfect squares

----> equation in vertex form

The vertex is the point (-1,-9)

Part C: What are the steps you would use to graph f(x)?

To graph f(x)

I need

1) The direction of the graph (Is a vertical parabola open upward)

2) The coordinates of the vertex (-1,-9) ( in this case is a minimum)

3) The x-intercepts  (-2.5,0) and (0.5,0)

4) The y-intercept

The y-intercept is the value of f(x) when the value of x is equal to zero

so

For x=0

The y-intercept is the point (0,-5)

Plot the points and draw the parabola

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

2 x^2 -3x+p

sum of roots = 3/2

let other root be x

3+ x = 3/2

x= 3/2 - 3 = -3/2

product of roots = p/2

3× -3/2 = p/2

-9 = p

1 is c

2 is a

3 is a
