Tutorial 1
1. Write an equation of the line satisfying the following conditions:
a) It passes through (2, - 3) and (5, 1).
b) It passes through (8, 2) and (-7, -4).
c) It passes through (-12, 7) and has slope = -1/3

2. Based on the function below, identify the values of a, b and c.


a) 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 2 + 3𝑥 − 5
2 1
b) 𝑦 = 3 𝑥 2 − 𝑥 + 2
c) −0.2𝑥 2 − 0.04𝑥 + 2
d) 5𝑥 2 − 10𝑥 − 15

3. Solve the following quadratic functions.


a) 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 15 = 0
b) 4 + 3𝑥 = 𝑥 2
c) 2𝑥 2 + 𝑥 = 10

4. For each function below, state whether the parabola opens upwards or
downwards:
a) 𝑦 = −𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 − 3
b) 𝑦 = 3𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 + 2

5. Calculate the vertex and axis of symmetry for the following functions:
a) 𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 3
