How to analyze and interpret quadratic functions?

In this problem we have a quadratic function in standard form, that is, an equation of the form f(x) = a · x² + b · x + c, where a, b and c are real coefficients. a) First, we need to complete the square and find the roots to determine the factorized form:

4 · x² - 7 · x - 15 = 0

4 · [x² - (7 / 4) · x - (15 / 4)] = 0

x² - (7 / 4) · x - (15 / 4) = 0

x² - 2 · (7 / 8) · x - (15 / 4) + (289 / 64) = 289 / 64

x² - 2 · (7 / 8) · x + 49 / 64 = 289 / 64

(x - 7 / 8)² = 289 / 64

x - 7 / 8 = ± 17 / 8

x = 7 / 8 ± 17 / 8

Then, the factor form of the polynomial is f(x) = 4 · (x - 3) · (x + 5 / 4).

b) The values of the x-intercepts of the graph of f(x) are represented by the roots found in part a).

c) The end behavior of the graph is inferred from the lead coefficient. A positive coeffcient , which is the case of the function, indicates that vertex of the polynomial is a minimum and parabola grows in the + y direction.

d) In accordance with algebra, we can generate a quadratic equation by knowing three distinct points on Cartesian plane.

First, mark the two x-intercepts, second, generate a line perpendicular to the x-axis that passes the midpoint of the line segment generated by the two intercepts and, finally, generate a parabola with a minimum and growing in the + y direction.
