Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The given function is a quadratic function, specifically a parabola. . The function is in the form f(x)=(xh)+kf(x) = (x - h)^ + k, where (h,k)(h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.
3. The vertex of the parabola is the point where the parabola reaches its maximum or minimum value.
4. The yy-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the yy-axis.
5. The axis of symmetry of a parabola is the vertical line through the vertex.

STEP 2

First, we identify the vertex of the parabola. The vertex is given by the point (h,k)(h, k), where hh and kk are the values in the function f(x)=(xh)2+kf(x) = (x - h)^2 + k.
In this case, the function is f(x)=(x2)2+4f(x) = (x -2)^2 +4.
So, the vertex is (2,4)(2,4).

STEP 3

Next, we find the yy-intercept. The yy-intercept is the value of f(x)f(x) when x=0x =0.
So, we substitute x=0x =0 into the function to find the yy-intercept.
f(0)=(02)2+f(0) = (0 -2)^2 +

STEP 4

Calculate the yy-intercept.
f(0)=(02)2+4=4+4=8f(0) = (0 -2)^2 +4 =4 +4 =8So, the yy-intercept is (0,8)(0,8).

STEP 5

Now, we find the equation of the axis of symmetry. The axis of symmetry of a parabola is the vertical line x=hx = h, where hh is the xx-coordinate of the vertex.
In this case, the vertex is (2,4)(2,4), so the axis of symmetry is x=2x =2.

STEP 6

Next, we identify the domain and range of the function.The domain of a function is the set of all possible xx-values. For a quadratic function, the domain is all real numbers, or (,)(-\infty, \infty).
The range of a function is the set of all possible yy-values. For a parabola that opens upwards (as in this case), the range is [k,)[k, \infty), where kk is the yy-coordinate of the vertex.In this case, the vertex is (2,4)(2,4), so the range is [4,)[4, \infty).

STEP 7

Finally, we can sketch the graph of the function using the vertex, yy-intercept, and axis of symmetry.1. Plot the vertex (2,4)(2,4).
2. Plot the yy-intercept (0,)(0,).
3. Draw the axis of symmetry x=2x =2.
4. Since the parabola opens upwards, draw the parabola starting at the vertex and passing through the yy-intercept, symmetric about the axis of symmetry.
