Describe the end behavior (as x \to \pm\infty) of y = x^2.

As x \to \infty, y \to \infty; as x \to -\infty, y \to \infty (parabola opens up).

 Find the GCF of the terms 6x^2 and 15x.

GCF of 6x^2 and 15x is 3x.

200

The graph of a parabola opens downward with vertex at (1,4). State the domain and range.

Domain: all real numbers. Range: y < 4 (since opens downward).

Describe the end behavior of y = -3x^2 + 2x -1.

As x \to \infty, y \to -\infty; as x \to -\infty, y \to -\infty (opens down because leading coefficient is negative).

Factor out the greatest common factor from 8x^3 + 12x^2.

8x^3 + 12x^2 = 4x^2(2x + 3)

Compare end behavior of y = 0.5x^2 and y = -0.5x^2 and explain what happens to the outputs as x \to \infty.

For y = 0.5x^2, as x \to \infty, y \to \infty and as x \to -\infty, y \to \infty. For y = -0.5x^2, both ends go to -\infty.

Given two quadratic functions, f(x)=2x^2+3x-1 and g(x)=-2x^2 + x + 5, describe and contrast their end behaviors and explain how those behaviors relate to the leading coefficients.

f(x)=2x^2+3x-1 (leading 2>0) both ends \to \infty

g(x)=-2x^2+x+5 (leading -2<0) both ends \to -\infty.
