Find the vertex of the parabola formed by the following quadratic function: y = 3x^2 – 6x + 2

Vertex form is y=a(x-h)^2+k, so we can rearrange to that form...

y=3x^2-6x+2  subtract 2 from both sides

y-2=3x^2-6x  divide both sides by 3

(y-2)/3=x^2-2x, halve the linear coefficient, square it, add it to both sides...in this case:  (-2/2)^2=1 so

(y-2)/3+1=x^2-2x+1  now the right side is a perfect square

(y-2+3)/3=(x-1)^2

(y+1)/3=(x-1)^2  multiply both sides by 3

y+1=3(x-1)^2  subtract 1 from both sides

y=3(x-1)^2-1  so the vertex is:

(1, -1)

...

Now if you'd like you can commit to memory the vertex point for any parabola so you don't have to do the calculations like what we did above.  The vertex of any quadratic (parabola), ax^2+bx+c is:

x= -b/(2a),   y= (4ac-b^2)/(4a)

Then you will always be able to do a quick calculation of the vertex :)

Describe the transformation of the graph of f into the graph of g as either a horizontal or vertical stretch. f(x)=sqrt(x) and g

with that template in mind, let's see    \bf f(x)=\sqrt{x}\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
g(x)=&\sqrt{0.5x}\\
&\quad \uparrow \\
&\quad  B
\end{array}

so B went form 1 on f(x), down to 0.5 or 1/2 on g(x)
B = 1/2, thus the graph is stretched by twice as much.

Using the line of the best fit, the predicted student's score in English test is 48

<h3>How to determine the student's score in English?</h3>

From the question, we have:

Mathematics score = 60

The scores in English tests are plotted on the y-axis.

On the given graph, we have:

(x,y) = (60,48)

This means that when x = 60, the value of y is 48

This in other words means that the student's score in English test is 48
