Key Features of Functions
Linear, quadratic, and absolute-value functions can be graphed using key features
that the equation identifies. Key features can be labeled using either set builder
notation or interval notation. Interval notation represents a set of real numbers by
a pair of values. Parentheses are used when the points are not included. Brackets
are used for when a boundary point is included.
1. Use the function f(x) = x2 – 16 and identify the key features that are listed in
the table for the graph. Label the graph with the key features.

Function is a quadratic function. x-intercepts are -4 and 4.

The function decreasing before vertex =

The function increasing after vertex =

y-intercept is -16.

Function is Positive : , Function is negative :

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

   ...(1)

It is an upward parabola because coefficient of is positive.

The vertex form of a parabola is

      ...(2)

where, a is constant and (h,k) is vertex.

From (1) and (2), we get

So, vertex of the parabola is (0,-16).

Key features are:

The given function is defined for all values of x. So,

Domain :

The value of a function which is an upward parabola cannot be less than the y-coordinate of its vertex.

Range :

Minimum Value = y-coordinate of vertex = -16

Function is a quadratic function.

For f(x)=0,

So, x-intercepts are -4 and 4.

The function decreasing before vertex =

The function increasing after vertex =

For x=0,

So, y-intercept is -16.

Function is Positive :

Function is negative :

Hello!

This makes a triangle

The cat is 20 ft high

The triangle is 20 feet high

The is 6 ft between the ladder and the tree

The base is 6 ft long

You use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this



a and b are the base and height

put in the values you know



square the numbers

36 + 400 = 

Add

436 = 

Take the square root of 436

20.9 = c

Since this is lower than the length of the ladder the ladder is long enough

The answer is yes

Hope this helps!
