Question

how do i draw the graph for m (x)=  x^2 + 4x + 9

danjs · Answer

do you se the general shape of it by the form , it is already in the general form

danjs · Answer

f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c

general quadratic form, parabola

anonymous · Answer

how do i find the domain for the graph ?
i factorized it and i got (x+2)^2 + 9

danjs · Answer

watch the completing the square there, you did that part right, but the constant 9 is wrong

anonymous · Answer

it says that x is a real number... obviously cuz the graph is infinity
but it also says that x> a and i have to find the value of a.... how do i find a?

danjs · Answer

given  m(x) = x^2 + 4x + 9
Graph the function and find the domain?  what is it asking

anonymous · Answer

its asking the value of a

anonymous · Answer

in which x > a

anonymous · Answer

oh and i got the completing square... (x+2)^2 + 5

danjs · Answer

the domain of that is going to be all real numbers for possible values of X

danjs · Answer

It states that x is a real number because you want to exclude complex numbers or roots

anonymous · Answer

but how do i draw the graph...

anonymous · Answer

where will the intersection for the parabola be

danjs · Answer

|dw:1443165464570:dw|
