The axis of symmetry for the function f(x) = −x2 − 10x + 16 is x = −5. what are the coordinates of the vertex of the graph? (−5, 41) (−5, 56) (−5, 76) (−5, 91)

Considering the definition of axis of symmetry and vertex of a quadratic function, the correct answer is the first option: the coordinates of the vertex of the graph is (-5,41).

The general form of a quadratic function is f(x  = ax²+ bx+ c, whose graph is a parabola.

Quadratic functions have a maximum (if a<0) or a minimum (if a>0). This point is the vertex of the parabola.

That is, the vertex of a quadratic equation or parabola is the highest or lowest point on the graph corresponding to that function. The vertex is in the plane of symmetry of the parabola; anything that happens to the left of this point will be an exact reflection of what happens to the right.

In other words, the vertex divides the graph into two halves that are mirror images of each other, so that the axis of symmetry always passes through the vertex.

In this case, you know that the axis of symmetry for the function is x = −5.

So the vertex on the x-axis has a value of -5. To calculate the value of the vertex on the y-axis, you must substitute the value of the vertex on the x-axis in the function:

f(-5) = −(-5)² − 10×(-5) + 16

Solving:

f(-5)= 41

In summary, the correct answer is the first option: the coordinates of the vertex of the graph is (-5,41).

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is equal to

where

(h,k) is the vertex

if -----> the parabola open upward (vertex is a minimum)

if -----> the parabola open downward (vertex is a maximum)

In a vertical parabola the axis of symmetry is equal to

In this problem we have

Complete the square

The parabola open downward

the vertex is the point (is a maximum)

therefore

the answer is

the answer is the option b

the range is all real numbers

step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the absolute value parent function is equal to

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

so

a. it is v-shaped > is true

b. the range is all real numbers > is not true

because the range is the > [0,∞)

all real numbers greater than or equal to zero

c. it goes through the origin > is true

d. the domain is all real numbers > is true
