Y = x² +4x-1find the values of x and y |
|
Answer» Answer: a=1,b=−4. As a is POSITIVE, the PARABOLA should open up. As c=0, the parabola passes through the origin. Vertex: x=−b/2a=2, so y=−4 ⇒Vertex=(2,−4). ASSUMING two values of x, x 1 0 y −3 0 Points obtained: (2,−4),(1,−3),(0,0). SYMMETRY of parabola: Mirror image. Points of (1,−3) and (0,0) are (3,−3) and (4,0), respectively. |
