d) f(_) = ______________

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts are the points with y- coordinate of 0

  • (x - 3)(x + 8) = 0
  • x - 3 = 0 or x + 8 = 0
  • x = 3 or x = - 8

a) x-intercepts are

  • 3 and - 8

b) midpoint of x-intercepts is

  • (3 - 8)/2 = - 5/2 = - 2.5

c) The extheme value has x- coordinate of - 2.5 and y- coordinate

  • (-2.5 - 3)(- 2.5 + 8) = (-5.5)(5.5) = - 30.25

d) f(- 2.5) = - 30.25

Answer:

[tex]\sf a) \quad x = -8 \:\:and \:\:x = 3[/tex]

[tex]\sf b) \quad \left(-\dfrac{5}{2},0\right)[/tex]

[tex]\sf c) \quad \left(-\dfrac{5}{2},-\dfrac{121}{4}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\sf d) \quad f(x)=\left(x+\dfrac{5}{2}\right)^2-\dfrac{121}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part (a)

The x-intercepts are the x-values when the curve crosses the x-axis, so when the function is equal to zero:

[tex]\implies f(x)=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies (x-3)(x+8)=0[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex](x-3)=0 \implies x=3[/tex]

[tex](x+8)=0 \implies x=-8[/tex]

Therefore, the x-intercepts are x = -8 and x = 3

Part (b)

[tex]\textsf{Midpoint}=\left(\dfrac{x_2+x_1}{2},\dfrac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)\quad \textsf{where}\:(x_1,y_1)\:\textsf{and}\:(x_2,y_2)\:\textsf{are the endpoints}}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\sf \implies Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{-8+3}{2},\dfrac{0+0}{2}\right)=\left(-\dfrac{5}{2},0\right)[/tex]

Therefore, the midpoint of the x-intercepts is (-5/2, 0)

Part (c)

The extreme value is the vertex.  The vertex is:

  • the minimum point if the parabola opens upwards
  • the maximum point if the parabola open downwards

The x-coordinate of the vertex is the x-value of the midpoint of the x-intercepts.  Therefore, the x-value of the extreme value is x = -5/2.

To find the y-coordinate, substitute this into the given equation:

[tex]\implies \sf y=\left(-\dfrac{5}{2}-3\right)\left(-\dfrac{5}{2}+8\right)=-\dfrac{121}{4}[/tex]

Therefore, the extreme value is:

[tex]\sf \left(-\dfrac{5}{2},-\dfrac{121}{4}\right)[/tex]

Part (d)

The function in vertex form is:

[tex]\sf f(x)=\left(x+\dfrac{5}{2}\right)^2-\dfrac{121}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies \sf f\left(-\dfrac{5}{2}\right)& = \sf \left(-\dfrac{5}{2}+\dfrac{5}{2}\right)^2-\dfrac{121}{4}\\\\ & = \sf 0 -\dfrac{121}{4}\\\\ & = \sf -\dfrac{121}{4} \end{aligned}[/tex]
