Answer

(a) See graph, opens down, vertex $(\frac{1}{2},-\frac{5}{4})$, axis of symmetry $x=\frac{1}{2}$, y-intercept $(0,-2)$, (b) domain $(-\infty,\infty)$, range $(-\infty,-\frac{5}{4}]$. (c) decreasing on $(\frac{1}{2},\infty)$, increasing on $(-\infty,\frac{1}{2})$.

Work Step by Step

(a) See graph for $y=-3x^2+3x-2=-3(x-\frac{1}{2})^2-\frac{5}{4}$, we can find that the graph opens down, vertex $(\frac{1}{2},-\frac{5}{4})$, axis of symmetry $x=\frac{1}{2}$, y-intercept $(0,-2)$, x-intercept(s) $none$. (b) We can determine the domain $(-\infty,\infty)$, range $(-\infty,-\frac{5}{4}]$. (c) The function is decreasing on $(\frac{1}{2},\infty)$, increasing on $(-\infty,\frac{1}{2})$.
