Exam points

  • sketch each function with the correct overall shape, branches and increasing or decreasing behaviour
  • identify roots, turning points and symmetry and show horizontal or vertical asymptotes where present
  • use turning levels and intersections to determine extrema or the possible number of equation roots

E2.11.1 Recognise, sketch and interpret graphs of the following functions: (a) question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

The expression 5+12x2x25+12 x-2 x^{2} can be written in the form q2(x+p)2q-2(x+p)^{2}.

Write down the coordinates of the maximum point of the curve y=5+12x2x2y=5+12 x-2 x^{2}.
