Short Answer

Expert verified
  • The parabola opens upwards.
  • The axis of symmetry is the linex=-2
  • The vertex is(-2,24)
  • The y-intercept is(0,-12)
  • Point symmetric to y-intercept(-4,-12)
  • The x-intercepts are(-4.828,0)and(4.828,0)
  • Graph of parabola :

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Determine whether the parabola opens upward and downward. 

f(x)=ax2+bxcf(x)=3x2+12x12

Since a is 3 , the parabola opens upward.

02

Step 2. To find the equation of the axis of symmetry, use x=-b2a

x=-b2ax=-122(3)x=-2

The axis of symmetry is x=-2.

The vertex is on the line x=-2.

03

Step 3. Find the vertex. 

Findf(-2)

role="math" localid="1645169868337" f(x)=3x2+12x12f(-2)=3(-2)2+12(-2)12f(-2)=12-2412f(-2)=-24

The vertex is (-2,-24).

04

Find the y-intercept. Find the point symmetric to the y-intercept across the axis of symmetry. 

The y-intercept occurs when x = 0 . Find f (0) .

f(x)=3x2+12x12f(0)=3(0)2+12(0)12f(0)=12

The y-intercept is (0, 鈭12).

The point (0, 鈭12) is two units to the right of the line of symmetry.

The point two units to the left of the line of symmetry is (-4,12).

Point symmetric to the y-intercept is (-4,12)

05

Step 5. Find the x-intercepts. 

The x-intercept occurs when f (x) = 0 .

f(x)=3x2+12x120=3x2+12x12

Factor the GCF:

role="math" localid="1645171288550" 0=3(x2+4x4)0=x2+4x4

Solve the trinomial:

role="math" localid="1645171453723" x=-4.828andx=0.828

The x-intercepts are (-4.828,0)and(0.828,0)

06

Graph the parabola

We graph the vertex, intercepts, and the point symmetric to the y-intercept.

We connect these 5 points to sketch the parabola.
