f(x) = (x + 7)² - 8
the equation of a quadratic in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
given the quadratic in standard form : y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )
then the x-coordinate of the vertex is
= -
f(x) = x² + 14x + 41 is in standard form
with a = 1, b = 14 and c = 41
= -
= - 7
substitute this value into the equation for y- coordinate
y = (- 7 )² + 14(- 7 ) + 41 = 49 - 98 + 41 = - 8
f(x) = (x + 7)² - 8 ← in vertex form
Answer:
Part A) The graph in the attached figure
Part B) see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A) Graph the function
we have the quadratic function
This is a vertical parabola open upward
The vertex is a minimum
using a graphing tool
The graph in the attached figure
Part B) What are the values of a, b and c?
we know that
The values of a and b represent the x-intercepts of the quadratic equation
The x-intercepts are
(-2,0) and (6,0)
so
Find the value of c
we know that
The x-coordinate of the vertex in a vertical parabola is equal to the midpoint of the roots
so
The value of c is equal to
substitute the given values
see the attached figure
