1. **State the problem:** We are given two quadratic functions:
- $y = -2(x - 1)^2 + 3$
- $y = (x - 5)^2 + 6$
We need to find the vertex, axis of symmetry, additional points, number and type of solutions, max or min, domain, and range for each.
2. **Recall the vertex form of a quadratic:**
$$y = a(x - h)^2 + k$$
where $(h, k)$ is the vertex.
3. **For the first function $y = -2(x - 1)^2 + 3$:**
- Vertex: $(1, 3)$ because $h=1$, $k=3$.
- Axis of symmetry: vertical line $x = 1$.
- Since $a = -2 < 0$, the parabola opens downward, so the vertex is a maximum point.
- Domain: all real numbers, $(-\infty, \infty)$.
- Range: since max is at $y=3$ and parabola opens down, range is $(-\infty, 3]$.
4. **Find second and third points:**
Choose $x=0$ and $x=2$ (one unit left and right of vertex):
- At $x=0$:
$$y = -2(0 - 1)^2 + 3 = -2(1)^2 + 3 = -2 + 3 = 1$$
- At $x=2$:
$$y = -2(2 - 1)^2 + 3 = -2(1)^2 + 3 = -2 + 3 = 1$$
Points: $(0,1)$ and $(2,1)$.
5. **Number and type of solutions:**
Set $y=0$ to find roots:
$$0 = -2(x - 1)^2 + 3$$
$$-2(x - 1)^2 = -3$$
$$\cancel{-2}(x - 1)^2 = \cancel{-3} \Rightarrow (x - 1)^2 = \frac{3}{2}$$
$$x - 1 = \pm \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$$
$$x = 1 \pm \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$$
Two distinct real solutions.
6. **For the second function $y = (x - 5)^2 + 6$:**
- Vertex: $(5, 6)$.
- Axis of symmetry: $x = 5$.
- Since $a=1 > 0$, parabola opens upward, vertex is minimum.
- Domain: $(-\infty, \infty)$.
- Range: $[6, \infty)$.
7. **Graph shapes:**
- First parabola opens downward with vertex at $(1,3)$.
- Second parabola opens upward with vertex at $(5,6)$.
Final answers:
- First function vertex: $(1,3)$, axis $x=1$, max at $y=3$, domain $(-\infty, \infty)$, range $(-\infty, 3]$, two real solutions.
- Second function vertex: $(5,6)$, axis $x=5$, min at $y=6$, domain $(-\infty, \infty)$, range $[6, \infty)$.
