Please help me with this quadratics question. Thanks so much!
Let f(x) = 8x - 2x^2. Part of the graph of f is shown below. Find the x-intercepts of the graph. Write down the equation of the axis of symmetry, Find the y-coordinate of the vertex.Solution
f(x) = -2x^2 +8x
y = -2x^2 +8x
x intercept : plug y =0
-2x^2 +8x =0 ; x( -2x +8) =0
x =0 ; x= 4
In vertex form the equation : y = -2x^2 +8x
= -2(x^2 -4x)
= -2(x^2 -4x +4 -4) = -2(x -2)^2 + 8
y = -2(x -2)^2 + 8
So, vertex : ( 2, 8)
y coordinate of vertex y =8
axis of symmetry : x= 2
