What is the vertex form of the equation?

We need to write the equation in its vertex form so we have to know the general equation for the vertex form. It is written as:

y = (x - h)^2 + k

where h and k represents the point of the vertex.

We go as follows:

y = (x^2 + 4x) – 3 
y +4= (x^2 + 4x+4) – 3 
y = (x + 2)^2 - 7

Therefore, the correct answer from the choices is option B.

The vertex form of the equation x^{2}+4x-3 is \fbox{\begin{minispace}\\ \math (x+2)^{2} -7\end{minispace}}, that is \fbox{\begin{minispace}\\option B\end{minispace}}.

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation is a two degree equation that has the standard form ax^{2}+bx+c.

The degree of the given equation x^{2}+4x-3 is 2 therefore it is a quadratic equation.

Every quadratic equation represents a parabola so the given equation also represents a parabolic function.

The standard form of equation of a parabola is written as shown below.

\fbox{\begin{minispace}\\ \math a(x-h)^{2}+k\end{minispace}}

Here, the value of a represents whether the parabola is upwards or downward and the point (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Therefore, the above equation form is known as the vertex form of the equation.

To transform any quadratic equation into its vertex form, we use completing the square method.

Firstly, if the coefficient of x^{2} is other than 1 then divide the complete equation by that coefficient.

Here, the coefficient of x^{2} is 1 so the first step is not required.

Now, add a value and subtract the same value such that it forms a perfect square.

For a standard quadratic equation ax^{2}+bx+c, the value that is added and subtracted in the expression is calculated as \left(\dfrac{b}{2a}\right)^{2}.

Hence, add and subtract 4 to the equation and simplify as shown below.

\begin{aligned}x^{2}+4x-3&=x^{2}+4x-3+4-4\\&=x^{2}+4x+4-3-4\\&=(x+2)^{2}-7\end{aligned}

Therefore, the vertex form of the equation x^{2}+4x-3 is \fbox{\begin{minispace}\\ \math (x+2)^{2} -7\end{minispace}}.

A customer bought 7.5 pounds of apples from a local produce market. How many ounces of apples did the customer buy?
jeka94
Now if we have 7.5 pounds of apples first we need to convert 1 pound into ounces.

1 pound = 16 ounces.

Now we know how many ounces are in one pound. So lets take the 16 ounces for 1 pound and multiply by the 7 full pounds of apples. This excluding the 1/2 pound of apples.

7 x 16 = 112
(7 being the weight in pounds of the apples, 16 being 16 ounces in one pound, and 112 is how any ounces are in 7 pounds of apples.)

So now we have the amount of ounces in 7 pounds of apples.
But we are not done. We still have the 1/2 pound of apples. So we take 16 being 1 pound of apples and divide it by 2. 

16 divided by 2 = 8

That 1/2 pound of apples = 8 ounces.

So now we have our 7 pounds of apples in ounces (112) and our 1/2 pound of apples in ounces (8)

So we add these back up in ounces

112 + 8 = 120.

So now we can conclude:

7.5 pounds of apples is 120 ounces

Hope this helps!
