Solution
1 – b
g(x) = (x+1)^2 + 1
2 – c
(2, -11)
3 –
From the above graph
a) Vertex (1, -
4)
Intercepts (-1, 0), (0, -3) and (3, 0)
b) Equation of line of symmetry x = 1
c) Domain
Range
4 – Let numbers are x and y
Sum = x + y = 16
y = 16 – x
Product of two number = xy = x (16 – x) = 16x – x2
For maximum d/dx (16x - x2) = 0
16 – 2x = 0
x = 8
So, y = 16 – 8 = 8
Pair of numbers (8, 8)
Maximum product = 8 * 8 = 64
5)
b – 4
6)
A. The graph of f(x) falls...
