Lesson 11
Graphing from the Factored Form
- Let’s graph some quadratic functions in factored form.
Problem 1
Select all true statements about the graph that represents y=2x(x-11).
Its x-intercepts are at (\text-2,0) and (11,0).
Its x-intercepts are at (0,0) and (11,0).
Its x-intercepts are at (2,0) and (\text-11,0).
It has only one x-intercept.
The x-coordinate of its vertex is -4.5.
The x-coordinate of its vertex is 11.
The x-coordinate of its vertex is 4.5.
The x-coordinate of its vertex is 5.5.
Problem 2
Select all equations whose graphs have a vertex with x-coordinate 2.
y=(x-2)(x-4)
y=(x-2)(x+2)
y=(x-1)(x-3)
y=x(x+4)
y=x(x-4)
Problem 3
Determine the x-intercepts and the x-coordinate of the vertex of the graph that represents each equation.
equation | x -intercepts | x-coordinate of the vertex |
---|---|---|
y=x(x-2) | ||
y=(x-4)(x+5) | ||
y= \text-5x (3-x) |
Problem 4
Which one is the graph of the equation y=(x-3)(x+5)?
Graph A
Graph B
Graph C
Graph D
Graph A
Graph B
Graph C
Graph D
Problem 5
- What are the x-intercepts of the graph of y=(x-2)(x-4)?
- Find the coordinates of another point on the graph. Show your reasoning.
- Sketch a graph of the equation y = (x-2)(x-4).
Problem 6
A company sells calculators. If the price of the calculator in dollars is p, the company estimates that it will sell 10,\!000-120p calculators.
Write an expression that represents the revenue in dollars from selling calculators if a calculator is priced at p dollars.
Problem 7
Is (s+t)^2 equivalent to s^2+2st+t^2? Explain or show your reasoning.
Problem 8
Tyler is shopping for a truck. He found two trucks that he likes. One truck sells for $7,200. A slightly older truck sells for 15% less. How much does the older truck cost?
Problem 9
Here are graphs of two exponential functions, f and g.
The function f is given by f(x) = 100 \boldcdot 2^x while g is given by g(x) = a \boldcdot b^x.
Based on the graphs of the functions, what can you conclude about a and b?
Problem 10
Suppose G takes a student’s grade and gives a student’s name as the output. Explain why G is not a function.
