Question 955425: y=x^2/16+21x/16+11/8 the equation is x^2 devided by16 + 21x devided by 16
+ 11 devided by 8
s a parabola.
(i) Is the parabola u-shaped or n-shaped? How can you tell this from
the equation? [1]
(ii) Use algebra to find the x-intercepts. [4]
(iii) Explain why the y-intercept is 11/8
(iv) Find the equation of the axis of symmetry, explaining your
method. Use this information to find the coordinates of the
vertex, rounding your answers where necessary to one decima i think the parabol is u shaped due to their being a negative number in the equation. i think the 2nd answer is y=x^2/16+21x/16+11/8 16y=x^2+21x+22
16y-x^2-21x-22=0 ax^2+bx+c=0 a=-1, b=-21, c=-22+16y
x=21 sqrt64y+353/-2 21-sqrt 64y+353/-2 simplyfy
x=21+sqrt 64y+353/2 - 21-sqrt 64y+353/2''.

(i) Is the parabola u-shaped or n-shaped? How can you tell this from
the equation?
the parabola is u-shaped, and
(ii) Use algebra to find the x-intercepts.
.... x-intercepts occur where , so we have
....both sides multiply by
....use quadratic formula
.........exact solutions
approximate solutions:
or
(iii) Explain why the y-intercept is
y-intercept occurs where , yielding (,)
(iv) Find the equation of the axis of symmetry, explaining your
method. Use this information to find the coordinates of the
vertex, rounding your answers where necessary to one decimal
The axis of symmetry is . Since and
That is also x-coordinate of the vertex, plug it in and find y-coordinate
the vertex is at: (,)
