  1. Given : The maximum value of a quadratic function is – 3

    its axis of symmetry is x = 2

    value of the quadratic function at x = 0 is – 9

    To Find : the coefficient of x²

    Solution:

    axis of symmetry is x = 2

    => f(x) = a(x – 2)² + c

    f’ (x) = 2a(x – 2)

    f’ (x) = 0 => x = 2

    f”(x) = 2a < 0 because its maximum value

    Hence a is -ve

    f(2) = -3

    => -3 = a(2 – 2)² + c

    => -3 = c

    Hence f(x) = a(x – 2)² – 3

    value of the quadratic function at x = 0 is – 9

    => f(0) = – 9

    => -9 = a( 0 – 2)² – 3

    => -6 = 4a

    => a = -6/4

    => a = – 3/2

    f(x) =(-3/2)(x – 2)² – 3

    = (-3/2)(x² -4x + 4) – 3

    = (-3/2)x² + 6x – 6 – 3

    = (-3/2)x² + 6x -9

    coefficient of x² = -3/2
