Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. The function is a quadratic function.
2. The vertex form of a quadratic function is , where is the vertex.
3. The -intercept occurs when .
STEP 2
1. Identify the vertex of the quadratic function.
2. Identify the -intercept of the quadratic function.
3. Graph the quadratic function using the vertex and -intercept.
STEP 3
To find the vertex of the quadratic function , we can use the vertex formula for a parabola in standard form . The -coordinate of the vertex is given by:
For , and .
STEP 4
Calculate the -coordinate of the vertex:
STEP 5
Substitute back into the function to find the -coordinate of the vertex:
Thus, the vertex is .
STEP 6
To find the -intercept, substitute into the function:
Thus, the -intercept is .
STEP 7
To graph the quadratic function , plot the vertex and the -intercept . Then, draw a symmetric parabola opening upwards, as the coefficient of is positive.
The vertex is and the -intercept is .
