Cevap: $(0, \frac{9}{2})$

Cevap

(0, \frac{9}{2})

The correct answer is the coordinate point with

y

-coordinate

\frac{9}{2}

. The

y

-intercept of the graph of

g(x)

is found by evaluating

g(0)

. Substituting

x = 0

into the transformation equation gives

g(0) = -f(-1) + 2

. Using the definition of

f(x)

, we find

f(-1) = 2^{-1} - 3 = 0.5 - 3 = -2.5

. Substituting this value back into the equation for

g(0)

yields

g(0) = -(-2.5) + 2 = 2.5 + 2 = 4.5

, which is equivalent to

\frac{9}{2}

. Therefore, the

y

-intercept is the coordinate point containing

\frac{9}{2}

.

1

Substitute

x = 0

into the definition of

g(x)

to find the

y

-coordinate of the

y

-intercept.

g(0) = -f(0 - 1) + 2 = -f(-1) + 2

The

y

-intercept of any function

y = g(x)

occurs where the input

x

is equal to

0

.

2

Evaluate

f(-1)

using the definition

f(x) = 2^x - 3

.

f(-1) = 2^{-1} - 3 = \frac{1}{2} - 3 = -2.5

Evaluating

f(-1)

is necessary to substitute its value back into the expression for

g(0)

.

3

Substitute the value of

f(-1)

back into the expression for

g(0)

and simplify.

g(0) = -(-2.5) + 2 = 2.5 + 2 = 4.5 = \frac{9}{2}

This yields the final

y

-coordinate of the

y

-intercept, which is

\frac{9}{2}

, giving the coordinate point

(0, \frac{9}{2})

The height of a diver, in meters, above the pool surface $t$ seconds after leaving the diving board is modeled by the function $f(t) = -4.9(t - 1)^2 + 10$ . If the diving board is moved so that the diver's trajectory is shifted $0.5$ seconds later in time and the maximum height is increased by $2$ meters, which of the following functions $g$ models the diver's new trajectory?

g(t) = -4.9(t - 0.5)^2 + 12

g(t) = -4.9(t - 1.5)^2 + 8

g(t) = -4.9(t - 1.5)^2 + 12

g(t) = -4.9(t + 0.5)^2 + 12

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $g(t) = -4.9(t - 1.5)^2 + 12$

Cevap

The function

g(t) = -4.9(t - 1.5)^2 + 12

models the diver's new trajectory.

The correct answer represents the translated quadratic function. Since the original function

f(t) = -4.9(t - 1)^2 + 10

has its vertex at

(1, 10)

, shifting the trajectory

0.5

seconds later in time moves the vertex horizontally to the right to

t = 1.5

seconds, replacing

(t - 1)

with

(t - 1.5)

. Increasing the maximum height by

2

meters shifts the vertex vertically upward to

12

meters, replacing the constant term

10

with

12

. This results in the function

g(t) = -4.9(t - 1.5)^2 + 12

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the vertex and its meaning in the original function

f(t) = -4.9(t - 1)^2 + 10

.

The vertex is

(1, 10)

, indicating that the maximum height of

10

meters occurs at

t = 1

second.

The vertex form of a quadratic function is

y = a(t - h)^2 + k

, where

(h, k)

is the vertex representing the extreme value.

2

Apply the horizontal translation of

0.5

seconds later in time.

The new

t

-coordinate of the vertex is

1 + 0.5 = 1.5

seconds, which changes the term

(t - 1)

to

(t - 1.5)

.

A horizontal shift to the right by

c

units is represented by replacing the variable

t

with

t - c

.

3

Apply the vertical translation of

2

meters upward.

The new

y

-coordinate of the vertex is

10 + 2 = 12

meters, which changes the constant term of the function to

12

.

A vertical shift upward by

d

units is represented by adding

d

to the function value.

4

Combine the horizontal and vertical translations to write the new equation.

g(t) = -4.9(t - 1.5)^2 + 12

.

Substituting the shifted vertex coordinates

(1.5, 12)

into the vertex form while keeping the same vertical stretch/direction factor

a = -4.9

yields the final equation.

For a quadratic function in standard form

f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c

, the x-coordinate of the vertex is given by

h = -\frac{b}{2a}

. In this function,

a = 2

and

b = -12

, so

h = -\frac{-12}{2(2)} = 3

. The vertex coordinates are

(3, 5)

, which means

f(3) = 5

. Substituting

x = 3

into the function gives

2(3)^2 - 12(3) + c = 5

. Simplifying the terms gives

The vertex of the absolute value function

f(x) = |x - 2| - 3

is at

(2, -3)

, meaning its minimum value is

-3

. The transformed function

g(x) = -f(x + 1) + 2

shifts the graph 1 unit to the left, reflects it vertically across the

x

-axis (which turns the minimum value of

-3

into a maximum value of

3

), and translates it 2 units upward. This results in a final maximum value of

3 + 2 = 5

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Find the minimum value of

f(x)

and the location of its vertex.

The vertex of

f(x) = |x - 2| - 3

is at

(2, -3)

, which means

f(x)

has a minimum value of

-3

at

x = 2

.

Since the coefficient of the absolute value expression is positive, the graph of

f

opens upward, making the vertex a minimum point.

2

Apply the horizontal translation to find the new vertex position.

The term

f(x + 1)

shifts the graph 1 unit to the left, moving the vertex from

x = 2

to

x = 1

.

Adding a constant inside the function argument,

f(x + h)

where

h > 0

, shifts the graph horizontally to the left by

h

units.

3

Apply the vertical reflection to the minimum value.

The term

-f(x + 1)

reflects the graph across the

x

-axis. The vertex point

(1, -3)

becomes

(1, 3)

, and the minimum value of

-3

becomes a maximum value of

3

.

Multiplying the function by

-1

reflects the graph vertically, swapping all positive and negative

y

-values and changing the minimum value to a maximum value.

4

Apply the vertical translation to find the final maximum value.

Adding 2 to the function,

g(x) = -f(x + 1) + 2

, shifts the entire graph vertically upward by 2 units. The vertex moves from

(1, 3)

to

(1, 5)

.

Adding a constant to the outside of the function shifts the graph vertically, so the maximum value increases from 3 to 5.

The graph of the quadratic function $f(x) = x^2 - 4x + 7$ is translated $3$ units to the right and $2$ units down in the $xy$ -plane to form the graph of the function $g(x) = x^2 + px + q$ , where $p$ and $q$ are constants. What is the value of $q$ ?

Cevap: 26

Cevap

The value of

q

is

26

.

To find the constant term

q

of the translated quadratic function

g(x) = x^2 + px + q

, we first determine the vertex of the original function

f(x) = x^2 - 4x + 7

. Completing the square gives

f(x) = (x - 2)^2 + 3

, which identifies the vertex of the parabola as

(2, 3)

. Translating the graph

3

units to the right and

2

units down shifts the vertex to

(2 + 3, 3 - 2) = (5, 1)

. Because the translation does not affect the shape of the parabola, the leading coefficient remains

1

. The vertex form of the new function is

g(x) = (x - 5)^2 + 1

. Expanding this expression yields

g(x) = x^2 - 10x + 25 + 1 = x^2 - 10x + 26

. Comparing this to

g(x) = x^2 + px + q

, we find that

q = 26

The maximum value of a quadratic function occurs at its vertex. Given that the vertex is at

(30, 1000)

and the coefficient of the squared term is

-2

, the profit function can be written in vertex form as

P(x) = -2(x - 30)^2 + 1000

. Expanding this expression yields

P(x) = -2(x^2 - 60x + 900) + 1000 = -2x^2 + 120x - 800

. Comparing this to the given equation

P(x) = -2x^2 + kx - 800

, the coefficient of

x

must be 120. Alternatively, using the vertex formula

h = -b/(2a)

with

h = 30

A polynomial function $f$ has the form $f(x) = a(x - 2)(x + 3)(x - 5)$ , where $a$ is a constant. In the $xy$ -plane, the graph of $y = f(x)$ has a $y$ -intercept of $(0, 60)$ . What is the value of $f(1)$ ?

Cevap: 32

Cevap

32

The

y

-intercept of the graph is given as

(0, 60)

, which means that when

x = 0

,

f(0) = 60

. Substituting

x = 0

into the function gives

f(0) = a(0 - 2)(0 + 3)(0 - 5) = 30a

. Equating this to 60 gives

30a = 60

, so

a = 2

. Therefore, the function is

f(x) = 2(x - 2)(x + 3)(x - 5)

. To find the value of

f(1)

, substitute

x = 1

into this expression:

f(1) = 2(1 - 2)(1 + 3)(1 - 5) = 2(-1)(4)(-4) = 32

Substitute

x = 0

into the definition of

The correct answer is 1. By comparing the tables, each input of

g(x)

is

3

units greater than the corresponding input of

f(x)

(for example,

g(1)

corresponds to

f(-2)

because

1 - (-2) = 3

). A horizontal shift of

3

units to the right is represented in function notation by subtracting

3

from the input variable, so

g(x) = f(x - 3) + k

, which gives

h = 3

. Next, comparing the output values shows that each output of

g(x)

is

2

units less than the corresponding output of

f(x)

(for example,

g(1) = 6

while

f(-2) = 8

, and

6 = 8 - 2

). This indicates a vertical shift downwards by

2

units, so

k = -2

. Therefore, the value of

Instead of analyzing the general shift for all points, you can choose a single corresponding pair of points from the tables to set up equations. Let the point

(-2, 8)

from the table of

from the table of

g

. Since

g(x) = f(x - h) + k

The trajectory of a basketball thrown toward a hoop can be modeled by a quadratic function. In the $xy$ -plane, $x$ represents the horizontal distance in feet from the shooter and $y$ represents the height of the basketball in feet. The basketball reaches its maximum height of $14$ feet at a horizontal distance of $8$ feet from the shooter. If the basketball is released at a height of $6$ feet, which of the following equations models the trajectory of the basketball?

y = -\frac{1}{8}(x + 8)^2 + 14

y = -\frac{1}{8}(x - 14)^2 + 8

Cevap: $y = -\frac{1}{8}(x - 8)^2 + 14$

Cevap

The equation

y = -\frac{1}{8}(x - 8)^2 + 14

The vertex form of a quadratic function is

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

, where

(h, k)

represents the coordinates of the vertex. Since the maximum height of the basketball is

14

feet at a horizontal distance of

8

feet, the vertex is

(8, 14)

. Substituting these values gives the equation

y = a(x - 8)^2 + 14

. The release point represents the y-intercept where

x = 0

and

y = 6

. Substituting these coordinates into the equation gives

6 = a(0 - 8)^2 + 14

, which simplifies to

6 = 64a + 14

. Subtracting

14

from both sides results in

-8 = 64a

, and dividing both sides by

64

yields

a = -\frac{1}{8}

. Therefore, the correct trajectory model is

y = -\frac{1}{8}(x - 8)^2 + 14

.

For the quadratic equation to have exactly one real solution, it must be written in the standard form

x^2 + 10x + (c - 7) = 0

, and its discriminant must equal zero. Setting the discriminant to zero gives

10^2 - 4(1)(c - 7) = 0

. Distributing the negative four yields

100 - 4c + 28 = 0

, which simplifies to

128 - 4c = 0

. Solving for the constant gives

c = 32

. Alternatively, the left side of the equation in standard form must be a perfect square trinomial, meaning

x^2 + 10x + 25 = 0

c - 7 = 25

In the quadratic equation $3x^2 - 18x + c = 0$ , $c$ is a constant. If the sum of the squares of the two real solutions to this equation is $26$ , what is the value of $c$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 15

Cevap

The value of

c

is

15

.

To find the value of

c

, we apply Vieta's formulas to the equation

3x^2 - 18x + c = 0

. The sum of the solutions is

x_1 + x_2 = -\frac{-18}{3} = 6

, and the product of the solutions is

x_1 x_2 = \frac{c}{3}

. Using the identity

x_1^2 + x_2^2 = (x_1 + x_2)^2 - 2x_1 x_2

, we substitute the given values:

26 = 6^2 - 2\left(\frac{c}{3}\right)

. This simplifies to

26 = 36 - \frac{2c}{3}

. Subtracting

36

from both sides yields

-10 = -\frac{2c}{3}

, which gives

2c = 30

, and thus

c = 15

. Alternatively, since the vertex of the corresponding parabola is at

x = -\frac{-18}{2(3)} = 3

, the two solutions can be represented symmetrically as

3 + d

and

3 - d

. The sum of their squares is

(3 + d)^2 + (3 - d)^2 = (9 + 6d + d^2) + (9 - 6d + d^2) = 18 + 2d^2

. Setting this equal to the given value of

26

yields

18 + 2d^2 = 26 \implies 2d^2 = 8 \implies d^2 = 4 \implies d = 2

. Therefore, the solutions are

3 + 2 = 5

and

3 - 2 = 1

. Substituting either solution back into the original equation, such as

x = 1

, yields

3(1)^2 - 18(1) + c = 0 \implies -15 + c = 0 \implies c = 15

Relate the sum of the squares of the solutions to their sum and product using the algebraic identity.

x_1^2 + x_2^2 = (x_1 + x_2)^2 - 2x_1 x_2 \implies 26 = (6)^2 - 2\left(\frac{c}{3}\right)

The algebraic identity

(x_1 + x_2)^2 = x_1^2 + 2x_1 x_2 + x_2^2

can be rearranged to express the sum of squares

x_1^2 + x_2^2

in terms of the sum and product.

f(x) = a(x - 3)^2 - 8

. Substituting the point

(1, 0)

into the equation gives

0 = a(1 - 3)^2 - 8

, which simplifies to

4a = 8

and yields

a = 2

. With the function fully defined as

f(x) = 2(x - 3)^2 - 8

, the

y

-intercept is found by calculating

f(0) = 2(0 - 3)^2 - 8 = 2(9) - 8 = 10

. Thus,

c = 10

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Express the quadratic function in vertex form using the given vertex

(3, -8)

.

f(x) = a(x - 3)^2 - 8

The vertex form of a quadratic function is

f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k

, where

(h, k)

is the vertex.

2

Substitute the coordinates of the point

(1, 0)

into the function to solve for the leading coefficient

a

.

a = 2

Since the graph passes through

(1, 0)

, substituting

x = 1

and

f(x) = 0

must satisfy the equation.

3

Substitute

x = 0

into the completed function

f(x) = 2(x - 3)^2 - 8

to find the value of

c

.

c = 10

The intersection with the

y

-axis occurs where the input

x

is 0.
