검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the given function: \(f(x) = -3(x-2)^2 + 1\). This is a quadratic function in vertex form, \(f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k\), where \((h, k)\) is the vertex.

Determine the vertex of the parabola. From the function, \(h = 2\) and \(k = 1\), so the vertex is at the point \((2, 1)\).

Analyze the coefficient \(a = -3\). Since \(a\) is negative, the parabola opens downward. The value \(3\) indicates the parabola is vertically stretched by a factor of 3 compared to the parent function \(y = x^2\).

Find additional points by choosing \(x\)-values around the vertex, substituting them into the function, and calculating the corresponding \(y\)-values. For example, try \(x = 1\) and \(x = 3\) to find symmetric points on either side of the vertex.

Plot the vertex and the additional points on the coordinate plane, then draw a smooth curve through these points to complete the graph of the parabola.

Vertex Form of a Quadratic Function

The vertex form of a quadratic function is expressed as f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola. This form makes it easy to identify the vertex and understand the graph's shape and position. In the given function, f(x) = -3(x - 2)^2 + 1, the vertex is at (2, 1).

Effect of the Coefficient 'a' on the Graph

The coefficient 'a' in the quadratic function affects the parabola's direction and width. If 'a' is negative, the parabola opens downward; if positive, it opens upward. The absolute value of 'a' determines the steepness: larger values make the graph narrower, while smaller values make it wider. Here, a = -3 means the parabola opens downward and is narrower than the standard parabola.

Graphing Transformations

Graphing transformations involve shifting, reflecting, and stretching or compressing the parent function y = x^2. The term (x - 2) shifts the graph 2 units to the right, and the +1 shifts it 1 unit up. The negative sign reflects the graph over the x-axis, and the factor 3 stretches it vertically. Understanding these transformations helps in accurately sketching the graph.
