Identify the given quadratic function: y = -x2 + 4x - 3.
Determine the direction in which the parabola opens by looking at the coefficient of x2. Since it is negative (-1), the parabola opens downward.
Find the vertex of the parabola using the vertex formula for x: x = -\(\frac{b}{2a}\), where a = -1 and b = 4. Calculate x = -\(\frac{4}{2(-1)}\).
Substitute the x-value of the vertex back into the original equation to find the y-coordinate of the vertex, which gives the maximum value of y because the parabola opens downward.
Determine the domain and range: The domain of any quadratic function is all real numbers, so \(\text{Domain}\) = (-\(\infty\), \(\infty\)). The range is all y-values less than or equal to the vertex's y-coordinate, so \(\text{Range}\) = (-\(\infty\), y_{vertex}]. Since each x corresponds to exactly one y, the relation is a function.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Vertex of a Parabola

The vertex is the highest or lowest point on a parabola, found using the formula x = -b/(2a) for a quadratic y = ax^2 + bx + c. It helps identify the maximum or minimum value of the function, which is crucial for determining the range.

Direction of the Parabola

The direction a parabola opens depends on the coefficient 'a' in y = ax^2 + bx + c. If 'a' is positive, it opens upward; if negative, downward. This direction indicates whether the vertex is a maximum or minimum point, affecting the range of the relation.

Domain and Range of Quadratic Functions

The domain of a quadratic function is all real numbers since x can take any value. The range depends on the vertex and the parabola's direction: if it opens downward, the range is all y-values less than or equal to the vertex's y-coordinate; if upward, all y-values greater than or equal to it.
