Given:
The function is
[tex]f(x)=(x+7)(x+11)[/tex]
To find:
The shape and direction of the given function.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]f(x)=(x+7)(x+11)[/tex]
It can be written as
[tex]f(x)=x^2+11x+7x+77[/tex]
[tex]f(x)=x^2+18x+77[/tex]
It is a quadratic function and the power of [tex]x[/tex] is 2 so the graph of this function is a vertical parabola.
The leading coefficient is positive so the parabola opens upward.
Therefore, the given function is a vertical parabola that opens upward.
