Question

An expression is shown below:

f(x) = 2x2 − 5x + 3

Part A: What are the x-intercepts of the graph of f(x)? Show your work. (2 points)

Part B: Is the vertex of the graph of f(x) going to be a maximum or minimum? What are the coordinates of the vertex? Justify your answers and show your work. (3 points)

Part C: What are the steps you would use to graph f(x)? Justify that you can use the answers obtained in Part A and Part B to draw the graph. (5 points)

Answer 1

I already took the course, and test. What is your difficulty with this? Seems to me you need a pencil and graph paper, or a graphing calculator.
