Master the 2021 IB November for Paper 1 Mathematics AA SL with examiner tailored solutions and comments for TZ0
Question 1 [Explained]
Consider the quadratic function given by ( f (x) = -2(x - 1)(x + 3)), where (x) is any real number. The graph below illustrates a segment of this function's curve.
Can you determine the key features of this graph, such as the vertices, intercepts, and the range of the function, based on its expression and shape?
Question 1 [a] [Explanation]
Consider examining the graph of the function ( f ). What are its key characteristics in terms of continuity, differentiability, or its specific behavior at critical points?

Question 1 [a] [i] [Explanation]
Can you determine the x-coordinates where the graph of a function crosses the x-axis?
This question involves finding the points at which the function's value is zero, commonly referred to as the x-intercepts.
Question 1 [a] [ii] [Explanation]
Determine the vertex coordinates of a parabola given its equation or graph. The vertex is the highest or lowest point on the curve, and identifying its coordinates involves using specific mathematical techniques related to the features of quadratic functions.
