Answer:

[tex]f(x) = 0.5(x+3)(x-1)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN :-

A quadratic function is represented by the graph in which :-

TO FIND :-

GENERAL CONCEPT USED IN THIS QUESTION :-

A quadratic function has 2 forms :-

SOLUTION :-

The quadratic function in the graph intersects x-axis at two points (-3 , 0) & (1 , 0). But there are infinite parabolas which also intersect the same two points. And those parabolas have their unique quadratic function.

To find the unique quadratic function , you need to use three points on the

curve so that you can form 3 equations & solve them.

Using the General form of quadratic function , substitute the known values for x & y.

Let the three points be -

Substitute (-3 , 0) in general form of function -

[tex]0 = a(-3)^2 + b(-3) + c[/tex]

[tex]=> 9a-3b+c = 0[/tex]  (eqn.1)

Substitute (1 , 0) in general form of function -

[tex]0 = a(1)^2 + b(1) + c[/tex]

[tex]=> a + b +c =0[/tex]  (eqn.2)

Substitute (0 , -1.5) in general form of function -

[tex]-1.5 = a(0)^2 + b(0) + c[/tex]

[tex]=> c = -1.5[/tex]

Substitute c = -1.5 in -

1) eqn.1 → [tex]9a - 3b - 1.5 = 0[/tex]

[tex]=> 9a - 3b = 1.5[/tex]  

[tex]=> 3(3a-b) = 1.5[/tex]

[tex]=> 3a-b = 0.5[/tex]  (eqn.4)

2) eqn.2 → [tex]a+b-1.5=0[/tex]

[tex]=> a+b=1.5[/tex] (eqn.5)

Add eqn.4 & eqn.5 to get the value of 'a'.

[tex](3a-b)+(a+b) = 0.5+1.5[/tex]

[tex]=> 4a = 2[/tex]

[tex]=> a = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5[/tex]

Substitute a = 0.5 in eqn.5 -

[tex]0.5 + b = 1.5[/tex]

[tex]=> b = 1.5 - 0.5 = 1[/tex]

Now, rewrite the function in general form by putting the values of 'a' , 'b' & 'c'.

[tex]f(x) = (0.5)x^2 + (1)x - 1.5[/tex]

[tex]=> f(x) = 0.5(x^2 + 2x - 3)[/tex]

Factorise the quadratic polynomial.

[tex]=> f(x) = 0.5(x^2 + 3x - x - 3)[/tex]

[tex]=> f(x) = 0.5[x(x+3)-1(x+3)][/tex]

∴  [tex]f(x) = 0.5(x+3)(x-1)[/tex]

Another way to find the function is by taking any point on the curve & using the vertex of the parabola ; substitute the known values for x , y , h & k in  the Standard form of the function.

Let that point on the curve be (-3 , 0)

Vertex = (-1 , -2)

Substitute the values of x , y , h & k in Standard form of function.

[tex]0 = a[-3 - (-1)]^2 + (-2)[/tex]

[tex]=> 0 = 4a-2[/tex]

[tex]=> 4a = 2[/tex]

[tex]=> a = \frac{2}{4} = 0.5[/tex]

Now rewrite the Standard form of the function by putting the values of h , k & a.

[tex]f(x) = 0.5(x+1)^2-2[/tex]

Expand it.

[tex]=> f(x) = 0.5(x^2+2x+1)-2[/tex]

[tex]=> f(x) = 0.5x^2+x+0.5-2[/tex]

[tex]=>f(x) = 0.5x^2 + x- 1.5[/tex]

[tex]=>f(x) = 0.5(x^2 + 2x - 3)[/tex]

Factorising it will give the final answer.

∴  [tex]f(x) = 0.5(x+3)(x-1)[/tex]
