![]() The sign of the leading coefficient, i.e., the A in the video, determines whether it is the minimum or the maximum. The free coefficient, i.e., the C in the video, is either the minimum or the maximum point of the Range. ![]() The Range of a function is the group of all the y values that result from calculating the function for all the x values allowed (the Domain).Īs Sal explains in the last part of the video when you bring the parabola to its vertex form it is easier to see the Range. Square root - Because Square root of a negative number is not a real numberĪs you can see there are no such operations in this exercise. In this exercise all x values can be used so the domain is the group of all the Real numbers.Įxamples to functions that would limit the domain would contain operations like:ĭivision - Because division by 0 is not allowed The Domain of a function is the group of all the x values allowed when calculating the expression. In that case, the vertex would lie on the horizontal axis. This formula also works if the parabola has only one root. So applying the arithmetic average formula (a+b)/2 where a is -b+sqrt(bsquared-4ac)/2a and b is -b-sqrt(bsquared-4ac)/a gives -b/2a as solution for x coordinate of vertex. See how sqrt(bsquared-4ac)/2a and -sqrt(bsquared-4ac)/21 get cancelled out of the expression.ġ) the x coordinate of the vertex is equal to the average point between the two roots of the parabola -the points where the parabola intersects the horizontal axisĢ) the roots of the parabola can be found via the quadratic formula. So: x coordinate of the vertex as an average point between the two roots-> Then the average between those two roots is obtained by adding those two formulas and dividing by two. So if we know that the formula for one of those roots, as per the quadratic formula, is -b+square root of -bsquared-4ac, all divided by 2a, and the formula for the other root i the same but with a minus sign on the numerator instead (this is, -b - squareroot of bsquared -4ac, all divided by 2a). See: the x coordinate of the vertex is the average point between the two roots of the quadratic (the two points where the graph of the parabola intersects with the horizonal axis. ![]() I don't know there those videos are, but I think is quite easy to realize it.
