For quadratic functions, sketch two parabolas showing
\n" ); document.write( "> all procedure(concavity, y-intercept, x-intercepts,
\n" ); document.write( "> symmetric axis, and vertex point)
\n" ); document.write( "> y=2x^2-3x+1...make x coefficient 1 and .complete square
\n" ); document.write( "y=2{x^2-2*x*0.75+0.75^2}+1-2*0.75^2
\n" ); document.write( "=2(x-0.75)^2-0.125...so this will have a minimum at x=0.75...then y =-0.125...so
\n" ); document.write( "1.vertex is(0.75,-0.125)...it is a minimum...so parabola has a trough
\n" ); document.write( "at the bottom or convex down wards .....concave upwards.
\n" ); document.write( "2.axis of symmetry is x-0.75=0....or x=0.75
\n" ); document.write( "3.when x =0....y=2*0.75^2-0.125=1...hence y intercept=1
\n" ); document.write( "4.when y=0....2(x-0.75)^2=0.125......so x is
\n" ); document.write( "REAL...that is it has 2 x interceptS..that is it cutS x
\n" ); document.write( "axis AT 2 PLACES
\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-5%2C+5%2C+-5%2C+10%2C+2%2Ax%5E2-3%2Ax%2B1%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "5.as far as sketching goes , you can try that by
\n" ); document.write( "1.draw x & y axes with a suitable scale.
\n" ); document.write( "2.plot vertex at (0.75,1.125)
\n" ); document.write( "3.draw axis of symmetry a vertical line at x=0.75
\n" ); document.write( "4.plot th y intercept at x=0 and y=2.25..that is curve cuts y axis at 2.25
\n" ); document.write( "5.sketch a symmetric graph from vertex upwards around the axis of
\n" ); document.write( "symmetry of x=0.75\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "> y=-3x^2+2x+1...same way as abov
\n" ); document.write( "y=-3{x^2-2*x*(1/3)+(1/3)^2}+1+(1/3)^2
\n" ); document.write( "=(10/9)-3{x-(1/3)}^2
\n" ); document.write( "so....
\n" ); document.write( "1.vertex is(1/3,10/9)...it is a maximum...so parabola has a peak at
\n" ); document.write( "the top or convex up wards .....concave downwards.
\n" ); document.write( "2.axis of symmetry is x-1/3=0....or x=1/3
\n" ); document.write( "3.when x =0....y=10/9-3/9=7/9...hence y intercept=7/9
\n" ); document.write( "4.when y=0....3{x-(1/3)}^2=10/9........so x is real=(1/3)+ and -
\n" ); document.write( "sqrt(10/27)...that is it has 2.. x intercepts..that is it cuts x axis
\n" ); document.write( "at 2 places

\n" ); document.write( "5.as far as sketching goes ,but you can try that by the same way as given above.
