Problem
The function f is defined by
f(x)=11−4x−2x2.
(a) Express f(x) in the form
a+b(x+c)2
where a, b and c are integers to be found.
(3)
(b) Sketch the graph with equation y=f(x), showing the coordinates of the point at which the graph crosses the y-axis.
(2)
(c) Write down the equation of the line of symmetry of the graph with equation y=f(x).

先把 x2 和 x 项提出共同系数 −2,再配方。配方时注意括号外的 −2 会改变常数项。

f(x)======11−4x−2x2−2x2−4x+11−2(x2+2x)+11−2((x+1)2−1)+11−2(x+1)2+2+1113−2(x+1)2.
So
f(x)=13−2(x+1)2.

由 (a) 可知顶点是 (−1,13),且二次项系数为负,所以图像开口向下。求 y 轴截距时令 x=0。

From part (a),
y=13−2(x+1)2.
The graph is a downward-opening parabola with vertex (−1,13).
At the y-axis, x=0, so
y==11−4(0)−2(0)211.
Therefore the graph crosses the y-axis at
(0,11).
(c)

配方形式 13−2(x+1)2 说明顶点的 x 坐标是 −1。二次函数的对称轴就是经过顶点的竖直直线。
