Sketch the graph of each of the following quadratic functions: (a) f(x) = -2x² + 7x + 4 for -1 ≤ x ≤ 5. Help me with this ques pleasee, i'll mark u as the brainliest!!​

Please find attached the graph of the function created with MS Excel showing the relevant points required to draw an approximate graph of the function on a graph paper

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic function is f(x) = -2·x² + 7·x + 4

The range of the input (x) values = -1 ≤ x ≤ 5

The coefficient of the quadratic is negative -2, the graph is n shape

The intercept form of the function is given as follows;

-2·x² + 7·x + 4 = -1 × (2·x² - 7·x - 4)

-1 × (2·x² - 7·x - 4) = -1 × (2·x² + x - 8·x - 4)

-1 × (2·x² + x - 8·x - 4) = -1 × (x · (2·x + 1) - 4·(2·x + 1))

∴ -1 × (x · (2·x + 1) - 4·(2·x + 1)) = -1 × (2·x + 1)·(x - 4)

∴ f(x) = -2·x² + 7·x + 4 = -1 × (2·x + 1)·(x - 4)

At the x-intercepts, (2·x + 1) = 0 or (x - 4) = 0, which gives;

x = -1/2 or x = 4

Therefore, the x-intercepts are (-1/2, 0), (4, 0)

The equation in vertex form is given as follows;

f(x) = -2·x² + 7·x + 4 = -2·(x² - 7·x/2 + 2)

By applying completing the squares method, to x² - 7·x/2 - 2, we get;

Where x² - 7·x/2 - 2

x² - 7·x/2 = 2

x² - 7·x/2 + (-7/4)² = 2 + (-7/4)² = 81/15

(x - 7/4)² = 81/16

∴ (x - 7/4)² - 81/16 = 0 = x² - 7·x/2 - 2

∴ x² - 7·x/2 - 2 = (x - 7/4)² - 81/16

-2·(x² - 7·x/2 + 2) = -2·((x - 7/4)² - 81/16) = -2·(x - 7/4)² + 81/8

The vertex = (7/4, 81/8)

When x = 0, we get;

f(0) = -2 × 0² + 7 × 0 + 4 = 4

The y-intercept = (0, 4)

The sketch of the function should pass through the x-intercepts (-1/2, 0), (4, 0), the y-intercept (0, 4), and the y-intercept (0, 4), and the vertex, (7/4, 81/8) on a graph sheet

step-by-step explanation:

because i said it is

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
