(1)把P(-1,2)和Q(2,4)代入解析式可得,
,
b=a+2/3,
c=2a+8/3,
y=-ax2+bx+c,
=-ax2+(a+2/3)x+2a+8/3,
-ax2+(a+2/3)x+2a+8/3=0,
△=(a+2/3)2-4(-a)(2a+8/3),
=9a2+12a+4/9≥0,
a≥-2/3+ 或a≤-2/3- ,
x 1x 2=(2a+8 )÷(-a)=-2- ,
当a≥-2 + 时,
-2- ≥-2-8÷(-2+ )=34+24 >0,
当a≤-2 - 时,
-2- ≤-2-8÷(-2- )=34-24 >0
x 1、x 2同号,
抛物线的图象与X轴的交点在原点同侧.
