Question

Ray needs help creating the second part of the coaster. Create a unique parabola in the pattern f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c. Describe the direction of the parabola and determine the y-intercept and zeros.

The safety inspector notes that Ray also needs to plan for a vertical ladder through the center of the coaster's parabolic shape for access to the coaster to perform safety repairs. Find the vertex and the equation for the axis of symmetry of the parabola, showing your work, so Ray can include it in his coaster plan.

Create a graph of the polynomial function you created in Question 4.

Answer 1

The direction of the parabola faces downward with y-intercept (-3,9) and zeros (-6,0) and (0,0).

What is a quadratic equation?

A quadratic equation is the second-order degree algebraic expression in a variable.

The standard form of this expression is  ax² + bx + c = 0 where a. b are coefficients and x is the variable and c is a constant.

WE have to Create a unique parabola in the pattern f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c to Describe the direction of the parabola and determine the y-intercept and zeros.

Let assume the quadratic function f(x) = -x^2 - 6x.

The direction of the parabola faces downward with y-intercept (-3,9) and zeros (-6,0) and (0,0).

we can see in the graph that the axis of symmetry will serve as a ladder through the coaster at x = -3.
