f(x)=(anything greater than 1)x+2
Most textbooks interpret standard form of a quadratic function to be as follows:
f(x) =

In the function f(x) =

, notice we do not have a value for "c". Just place a "0" in for the c and you have standard form.
the criteria for standard form:
1. All like terms are combined
2. Degree must drop from left to right
3. The leading coefficient cannot be equal to zero.
AG=1 => BG=3 => CG=sqrt3 => CD = 2sqrt3 => perimeter = 3*CD= 6sqrt3
Answer: option A. 30 °.
Explanation:
1) Draw this triangle: Eyes - Ship A - height of the cliff:
The angle of the vertix where the eyes are is: 90° - depreesion angle = 90° - 60° = 30°.
2) opossite leg = horizontal distance to the ship A = x
3) adjacent leg = height of the cliff = 1500 feet
4) tan(30°) = x / 1500 feet => x = 1500 tan(30°) = 1500 √3 / 3 = 500√3
5) Draw the triangle of the eyes - ship B - hieght of the cliff
6) The unknown is the depression angle of the eyes with ship B, α
7) opposite leg = 500√3 feet + 1000√3 feet = 1500√3 feet
8) adjacent leg = height of the cliff = 1500 feet
9) tan(α) = opposite leg / adjacent leg = 1500√3 / 1500 = √3
10) α = arctan(√3) = 60°
11) Depression angle = 90° - 60° = 30° Which is the answer
F(x) = x^2 +5x + 3
= (x + 2.5)^2 - 6.25 + 3
= (x + 2.5)^2 - 3.25
That is vertex form. I am not sure what you mean by function form
