Use the function f(x) to answer the questions:

f(x) = 4x2 − 7x − 15

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 a 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

A. f(x) = (4x+5)(x-3)

              B. Since +4 > 0, the graph opens up

             as always, the vertex is at x = -b/2a = 7/8

             C. plot the vertex at (7/8, -18 1/16)

           pick a point or two, say at x=0,1,2 and plot them. then draw a curve           through them.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = ± 6i

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -36

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-36)

we know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(36) sqrt(-1)

we know that sqrt (-1) = i

x = ± 6i

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
