Week 4: Quiz 4
Question 1
Given:
f(x) = 3x² + 2x - 1
Find the vertex.
Correct Answer: (-1/3, -4/3)
Question 2
Given:
f(x) = -2x² + 3x - 3
Find f(-3).
Correct Answer:
-30
Question 3
Find all solutions for x :
|3x - 4| = 20
Correct Answer: x = 8 or x = -16/3
Question 4
Determine the domain of the function:
Correct Answer: All Real numbers excluding x=2 and x=-1
, Question 5
Write the equation of the line with slope -2/3 and y-intercept 3. Write the answer in
slope-intercept form.
Correct Answer: y = (-2/3)x + 3
Question 6
Find the equation of the line whose slope is 5 and which passes through the point
(1, 2).
Correct Answer: y = 5x - 3
Answer Feedback: Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b
You have to know the "m" and "b" to find the equation. Since the "m"
is given (m=5), let's plug that into the equation or y=5x+b. There are
3 variables not accounted for: y,x,and b. I do know two of them (1,2)
then I can find the 3rd. Let's plug these in or 2=5*1+b or 2=5+b.
Solve for b by subtracting 5 from both sides getting -3=b. Now plug
the "m" and "b" back into y=mx+b getting y=5x-3.
Question 7
Given:
f(x) = 3x² + x - 1
g(x) = x² - 2x + 3
Find: (f - g)(x)
Correct Answer: 2x² + 3x - 4
