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 :)

Why are the elements placed into groups/families?
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior. All the members of a family of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties. The horizontal rows on the periodic table are called periods.
