Question 254877:
(1)
Which of the folowing functions has its vertex below the x-axis?
f(x)= (x-7)^2
f(x)= x^2-8
f(x)= 2x^2
f(x)= (x+3)^2
(2)
Find the minimum or maximum value of f(x)=x^2-2x-6 Then state the domain and range of the function.
Answer
The maximum value is 1. D: {all real numbers}; R: {y | y –7}

The maximum value is 1. D: {x | x –7 }; R: {all real numbers}

The minimum value is –7. D: {all real numbers}; R: {y | y –7}

The minimum value is –7. D: {x | x –7 }; R: {all real numbers}

(3)
A toy rocket is launched from the ground level with an initial vertical velocity of 96 ft/s. After how many seconds will the rocket hit the ground?
Answer
6 seconds

0 seconds or 6 seconds

0 seconds

square root of 6 seconds

2)
f(x)=a^2+bx+c
x^2-2x-6
a is positive so there is a minimum.
minimum at x=-b/2a=2/2=1
minimum at y=1-2-6=-7
Domain is all real numbers
Range is [-7, infinity)
