Question 1032602: Let f(x) = 2x^2 − 8x − 7.
What is the quadratic in vertex form that is y = a(x − h)^2 + k
for some constants a, h, and k). Use the vertex form to locate the x intercepts of the function. (without the quadratic formula.) Sketch the graph of f, showing all important features. Solve f(x) > 0.

Let f(x) = 2x^2 − 8x − 7
2x^2 - 8x = y +7
2(x^2 - 4x + 4) = y + 7 + 2*4
y = 2(x-2)^2 - 15

That is the quadratic in vertex form that is y = a(x − h)^2 + k
for some constants a, h, and k.

Use the vertex form to locate the x intercepts of the function. (without the quadratic formula.)
Vertex is (2,-15)
==========
Sketch the graph of f, showing all important features.

--------------------------
Solve f(x) > 0.
