STEP 1
1. We are analyzing the quadratic function .
2. We need to determine the concavity, intercepts, graph, domain, range, intervals of increase/decrease, and where the function is positive or negative.
STEP 2
1. Determine the concavity of the graph.
2. Find the -intercept and -intercepts.
3. Use the information to graph the function.
4. Determine the domain and range of the function.
5. Identify intervals where the function is increasing or decreasing.
6. Determine where and .
STEP 3
The quadratic function has a positive leading coefficient (1), indicating that the graph is concave up.
STEP 4
To find the -intercept, set :
Thus, the -intercept is .
To find the -intercepts, set :
Factor the quadratic:
So, .
Thus, the -intercept is .
STEP 5
Use the intercepts and concavity to sketch the graph. The vertex is at and the parabola opens upwards.
STEP 6
The domain of any quadratic function is all real numbers:
The range, since the parabola opens upwards and the vertex is at , is:
STEP 7
The function is decreasing on the interval and increasing on the interval .
STEP 8
Since the vertex is at and the parabola opens upwards, on and is never negative.
The function is concave up, the -intercept is , the -intercept is , the domain is , the range is , it is increasing on , decreasing on , and on .
