Zorluk: ZorQuadratic Functions and Graphs

In the xyxy-plane, the graph of the quadratic function f(x)=x2+bx+cf(x) = -x^2 + bx + c, where bb and cc are constants, has its vertex at (h,k)(h, k). The function gg is defined by g(x)=f(x3)+4g(x) = f(x - 3) + 4. The graph of gg passes through the origin (0,0)(0,0), and its vertex lies on the line y=xy = x in the first quadrant. What is the value of f(0)f(0)?

The correct answer is 7-7. Representing f(x)f(x) in vertex form as f(x)=(xh)2+kf(x) = -(x-h)^2 + k tells us that translating the function 3 units right and 4 units up shifts the vertex from (h,k)(h, k) to (h+3,k+4)(h+3, k+4). Since this vertex lies on the line y=xy=x, we have h+3=k+4h+3 = k+4, or k=h1k = h-1. Since the vertex of gg lies in the first quadrant, its coordinates must be positive, meaning h>3h > -3 and k>4k > -4. Using the fact that the graph of gg passes through the origin, we have g(0)=0    f(3)+4=0    f(3)=4g(0) = 0 \implies f(-3) + 4 = 0 \implies f(-3) = -4. Substituting x=3x = -3 into the vertex form of f(x)f(x) gives (3h)2+k=4    (h+3)2k=4-(-3-h)^2 + k = -4 \implies (h+3)^2 - k = 4. Substituting k=h1k = h-1 yields (h+3)2(h1)=4    h2+5h+6=0(h+3)^2 - (h-1) = 4 \implies h^2 + 5h + 6 = 0, which factors into (h+2)(h+3)=0(h+2)(h+3) = 0. The solution h=3h = -3 is discarded because it places the vertex of gg at (0,0)(0,0), which is not in the first quadrant. Therefore, h=2h = -2 and k=3k = -3. Calculating f(0)f(0) gives h2+k=(2)2+(3)=7-h^2 + k = -(-2)^2 + (-3) = -7.

Determine the vertex form of f(x)f(x) and the vertex of g(x)g(x).
Since f(x)=x2+bx+cf(x) = -x^2 + bx + c has its vertex at (h,k)(h, k), its vertex form is f(x)=(xh)2+kf(x) = -(x - h)^2 + k. The function g(x)=f(x3)+4g(x) = f(x - 3) + 4 represents a horizontal shift of ff by 3 units to the right and a vertical shift by 4 units up. Thus, the vertex of gg is (h+3,k+4)(h + 3, k + 4).
Understanding translations allows us to write the coordinates of the new vertex in terms of the original vertex variables.
2
Use the line y=xy = x and quadrant constraints to find a relation between hh and kk.
Since the vertex of gg lies on the line y=xy = x, we set its coordinates equal: h+3=k+4h + 3 = k + 4, which simplifies to k=h1k = h - 1. Additionally, because the vertex is in the first quadrant, we must have h+3>0h + 3 > 0 and k+4>0k + 4 > 0.
The geometric placement of the vertex on the line y=xy = x constrains its coordinate values.
3
Apply the condition that the graph of gg passes through the origin.
g(0)=0    f(3)+4=0    f(3)=4g(0) = 0 \implies f(-3) + 4 = 0 \implies f(-3) = -4. Substituting x=3x = -3 into the vertex form of f(x)f(x) gives (3h)2+k=4-(-3 - h)^2 + k = -4, which simplifies to (h+3)2k=4(h + 3)^2 - k = 4.
The point (0,0)(0,0) lying on the graph of gg provides an equation to solve for the vertex parameters.
4
Substitute k=h1k = h - 1 into the quadratic equation and solve for hh.
(h+3)2(h1)=4    h2+6h+9h+1=4    h2+5h+6=0(h + 3)^2 - (h - 1) = 4 \implies h^2 + 6h + 9 - h + 1 = 4 \implies h^2 + 5h + 6 = 0. Factoring gives (h+2)(h+3)=0(h + 2)(h + 3) = 0, so h=2h = -2 or h=3h = -3.
Substituting the linear relation into the quadratic equation isolates the variable hh.
5
Filter the solutions using the first quadrant constraint and calculate f(0)f(0).
If h=3h = -3, then k=4k = -4, giving the vertex of gg at (0,0)(0, 0), which is not in the first quadrant. If h=2h = -2, then k=3k = -3, giving the vertex of gg at (1,1)(1, 1), which is in the first quadrant. Thus, h=2h = -2 and k=3k = -3. The value of f(0)f(0) is f(0)=(0h)2+k=h2+k=(2)2+(3)=43=7f(0) = -(0 - h)^2 + k = -h^2 + k = -(-2)^2 + (-3) = -4 - 3 = -7.
The quadrant condition uniquely determines the correct vertex coordinates, allowing us to find the y-intercept of the original function.
