A quadratic function is defined by q (x) = (x – 4) (x + 1). Without graphing software, describe the process of graphing the given function on the coordinate plane. Make sure to find and include the words y-intercept, x-intercept(s), and vertex. Tell what you would plot and how the final graph would look.

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the vertex form of a parabola which opens upwards.

To find the x intercept put h(x) = 0:

(x + 1)^2 - 4 = 0

(x + 1)^2 = 4

x + 1 = +/- 2

x = (-3, 0) an (1, 0) are the x-intercepts.

For the y-intercept we put x = 0

y = (0+1)^2 - 4 = -3

y-intercept =  (0, -3).

The vertex  is (-1, -4).

Axis of symmetry is x = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

hi there!

first we need to find out how much they are adding to each number to make the next number.

ex: 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 8 = 16, and so on.

so continuing with 32,

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

the 8th term of the sequence will be 512

hope this ! ~

16 is the absolute value
