Question
The axis of symmetry of the graph of a quadratic function has the equation x \( = - \frac{1}{2}\)
.
Draw the axis of symmetry on the following axes.
The graph of the quadratic function intersects the x-axis at the point N(2, 0) . There is a second point, M, at which the graph of the quadratic function intersects the x-axis.
Draw the axis of symmetry on the following axes.
The graph of the quadratic function intersects the \(x\)-axis at the point \({\text{N}}(2, 0)\). There is a second point, \({\text{M}}\), at which the graph of the quadratic function intersects the \(x\)-axis.
Clearly mark and label point \({\text{M}}\) on the axes.
(i) Find the value of \(b\) and the value of \(c\).
(ii) Draw the graph of the function on the axes.
