Find two quadratic functions whose graph have given x-intercepts. Find one function whose graph opens upward and another whose graph opens downward.
(-4,0) (0,0)
To find quadratic functions with the given x-intercepts, (-4,0) and (0,0), we can start by using the factored form of a quadratic function. The factored form of a quadratic function can be written as:
f(x) = a(x - p)(x - q)
Where a is a non-zero constant, and p and q are the x-intercepts.
For the first function whose graph opens upward, the x-intercepts are (-4,0) and (0,0). So, we can write the function in factored form using these x-intercepts:
f1(x) = a(x - (-4))(x - 0)
Simplifying, we have:
f1(x) = a(x + 4)(x - 0)
f1(x) = a(x + 4)(x)
For the second function whose graph opens downward, the x-intercepts are still (-4,0) and (0,0). So, we can again write the function in factored form:
f2(x) = a(x - (-4))(x - 0)
Simplifying, we have:
f2(x) = a(x + 4)(x - 0)
f2(x) = a(x + 4)(x)
So, one quadratic function with graph opening upward is f1(x) = a(x + 4)(x), and one quadratic function with graph opening downward is f2(x) = a(x + 4)(x). Note that the value of the constant 'a' can be any non-zero constant to scale the function accordingly.
To determine the value of 'a' and fully define the quadratic functions, we would need additional information, such as a specific point on the graph or the vertex. If you provide more information, I can assist further in determining the exact quadratic functions.
from the values of the roots, we know that the functions will be of the form
y = ax(x+4)
So, pick a positive to open upward, and a negative to open downward.
Any nonzero value will do.
