f(x)=(x+3)^2-1
g(x)=-2x^2+8x+3
What are the x- and y- intercepts of the graph of the function f(x)? Identify the coordinates of any maxima or minima of the function. Explain your answers.

Respuesta :

x-intercepts of f(x) are
                  [tex]f(x)=(x+3)^{2}-1=0 [/tex]
                  [tex] x_{1}= -2, x_{2}=-4 [/tex]
As points they are (-2,0) and (-4,0)
y-intercept of f(x) is
                  [tex]f(0)=(0+3)^{2}-1=8 [/tex]
As a point it is (0,8)

x-intercepts of g(x) are:
                 [tex]g(x)=-2 x^{2} +8x+3=0[/tex]
                 [tex] x_{1}= \frac{-4+ \sqrt{22} }{-2} , x_{2}= \frac{-4- \sqrt{22} }{-2} [/tex]
y-intercept of g(x) is:
                 [tex]g(0)=-2*0+8*0+3=3[/tex]
As a point it is (0,3)

f(x) has a minima, the function is cap-sized. Since we have a simple case of quadratic function, there is no need to check the second order derivative. Indeed, I will attach both graphs for f(x) and g(x). The minima of f(x) is (-3,-1). And g(x) has a maxima. This maxima is the point (2,11)
