Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 5x^2 + 2x − 3

Factor

f(x) = (x + 1) (5 x - 3)

To find the x intercepts, set f(x) =0

0 = (x+1) ( 5x-3)

Using the zero product property

x+1 = 0  5x-3 =0

x=-1    5x=3

          x = 3/5

The x intercepts are (-1,0) and (3/5,0)

When x goes to -∞ the 5x^2 term dominates

f( -∞) = 5 (  -∞) ^2 = 5 ( ∞) =  ∞

As x  goes to  -∞     f(x) goes to  ∞

When x goes to ∞ the 5x^2 term dominates

f( ∞) = 5 (  ∞) ^2 = 5 ( ∞) =  ∞

As x  goes to  ∞     f(x) goes to  ∞

We need the end behavior, the x intercepts and the vertex to graph

We know this opens upward since the coefficient of x^2 is positive

The vertex is 1/2 way between the zeros

(-1+3/5) /2 = (-2/5) /2 = -1/5

Substitute this into f(x) to find the minimum

f(-1/5) = (-1/5 + 1) (5 *-1/5 - 3) = 4/5 * (-4) = -16/5

Part A

we multiply by 5

  and we search for two numbers that added give you 2 and multiplied 15, and those are 5 and -3, so that gives us

but because we multiplied by 5, we have to divide by 5

Part B.

Well we know that f(x) intercepts x when f(x)=0

so we have

so we have two cases

when and when

so we solve for them and get

Part C.

well as I understand the end behavior is that in this function is that as x grows towards infinity f(x) also grows towars infinity because the function has a positive leading coefficient.

Part D.

Well we alredy know two points when f(x)=0.

we can also work out when x=0

To find the other points we need to find the vertex.

so the vertex is in x=-0.2

the vertex is in (-0.2,-3.2), and we can graph additional points by giving value to x

the ratio of balloons to tables is 5: 2 and the constant variation is 5.

the equation is y=5x
