You can put this solution on YOUR website! The quadratic function f is defined by f(x) =
a) Find the set of values of k for which the equation has real roots.
-------------------
kx + 1 has real roots for all x ?? How is this related to the quadratic?
-------------------
b) Find the coordinates of the turning point of , stating whether it is a maximum or a minimum point.
The coefficient of the x^2 is >0 --> minimum
The Line of Symmetry is x = -b/2a = -5/8
The min is at (-5/8,f(-5/8))
= (-5/8,-7/16)
---------------
c) Hence, state the maximum value of
For 1/(4x^2 +5x +2)
Max = 2 2/7
