Question

The graph of f(x) = x2 has been shifted into the form f(x) = (x − h)2 + k: a parabola with a vertex of 4, negative 2 What is the value of h? (1 point) Select one: a. 4 b. 2 c. −2 d. −4

Answer 1

H is the x coordinate  of the vertex, so h would be 4, so a

Answer 2

we know that

The vertex of the function $f(x)=x^{2}$ is the point $(0,0)$

The vertex of the function $f(x)=(x-h)^{2}+k$ is the point $(4,-2)$

The x-coordinate of the vertex is equal to h

the y-coordinate of the vertex is equal to k

so

the value of h is $4$

the value of k is $-2$

the equation is

$f(x)=(x-4)^{2}-2$

therefore

the answer is the option a

$4$
