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

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.

the formula of a slope:

we have the points (-2, 7) and (2, 3). substitute:
