Given the functions f(x)=3x^2 g(x)=x^2-4x+5 and h(x)=-2x^2+4x+1 rank them from least to greatest based on their axis of symmetry

Respuesta :


ok, ranked by axis of symmetry


basically x=something is the axis of symmetry

the way to find the axis of symmetry is to convert to vertex form and find h and that's the axis of symmetry


but there's an easier way


for f(x)=ax^2+bx+c

the axis of symmetry is x=-b/2a

nice hack my teacher taught me



so


f(x)=3x^2+0x+0

axis of symmetry is -0/(3*2), so x=0 is the axis of symmetry for f(x)


g(x)=1x^2-4x+5,

axis of symmetry is -(-4)/(2*1)=4/2=2, x=2 is axis of symmetry for g(x)



h(x)=-2x^2+4x+1

axis of symmetry is -4/(2*-2)=-4/-4=1, x=1 is the axis of symmetry for h(x)



0<1<2

axisies

f(x)<h(x)<g(x)


order based on their axises of symmetry is f(x), h(x), g(x)

Answer:

To find the axis of symmetry.

A quadratic equation is in the form of :

[tex]ax^2+bx+c =0[/tex] where a, b and c are coefficients and x is the variable

Axis of symmetry is given by :

[tex]x = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

First identify a, b and c in the equation

[tex]f(x) = 3x^2[/tex]

⇒ a= 3 , b= 0 and c =0

[tex]g(x) = x^2-4x+5[/tex]

⇒ a = 1 , b = -4 and c =5

and

[tex]h(x) = -2x^2+4x+1[/tex]

⇒ a = -2 , b =4 and c =1

Using above formula of the axis of symmetry:

[tex]x = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

then;

In f(x)

Axis of symmetry: [tex]x = -\frac{0}{2 \cdot 3} = 0[/tex]

Similarly;

In g(x)

Axis of symmetry :  [tex]x = -\frac{-4}{2 \cdot 1} = \frac{4}{2} =2[/tex]

In h(x)

Axis of symmetry :  [tex]x = -\frac{4}{2 \cdot -2} = \frac{4}{4} =1[/tex]

Rank from least to greater on basis of axis of symmetry: 0 , 1 , 2

⇒ f(x); h(x) ; g(x)
