1a. Find a quadratic function f(x) = ax2 + bx + c that satisfies the given conditions. graph passes through (3, 1), zeros of f are 2 and 4
f(x)=
Solution
1) f(x) = a(x- h)^2 +k where (h, k) is vertex
Vertex : ( 2, 5)
So, equation becomes : f(x) = a(x-2)^2 + 5
Calculate a: 2 = a(3-2)^2 +5
2 = a+5 ---> a = -3
f(x) = -3(x-2)^2 +5
1a) f(x) = ax2 + bx + c that satisfies the given conditions. graph passes through (3, 1), zeros of f are 2 and 4
we can write f(x) also as : f(x) = k(x-a)(x-b)
So, f(x) = k(x-2)(x-4)
Now use (3, -1) to find k:
-1 = k(3-2)(3-4)
-1 = -1*k----> k =1
f(x) = (x-2)(x-4) = x^2 -6x +8
