"Finding Quadratic functions" question! Need help with second part.
Find two quadratic equations of x which are zero at x=1 , which take the value 10 when x =0 , and which have a maximum value of 18.
I figured out that the first answer is: \[-2x^2 - 8x +10\] , but I'm having trouble finding the second equation.
since at x=1 it is zero so x-1 is factor of both eq.s .
I used \[ax^2 +bx +10\] as my " base equation" , used \[f(-b/2a) = \min/or/\max/point/\] Came up with: b= - 8 or (6+2/3) I can't take the second value of b and come up with the right answer. :c
@Er.Mohd.AMIR Ah! That's an interesting idea...
so (a-b) should always equal -10 , hmm.
a+b=-10
ax^2+bx+c=0 and x=1 give zero
C will always be 10, I think.
otherwise, it could never = 10 when x = 0.
c is equal to 10 and a+b+c=0 gives a+b=-c a+b=-10
use your method, you can also use the other root from the quadratic formula
\[b=\dfrac{32 \pm \sqrt{32^2 + 4(320)} }{2}\]
