GJ is a tangent
АG is a radius
A tangent line to a circle is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the tangent point ⇒ m∠АGJ = 90° ⇒ ΔАGJ is the right triangle.

<span>By the Pythagorean theorem:
</span>AJ² = АG² + GJ²
AJ² = 9² + 12² = 81 + 144 = 225
AJ = √225 = 15 units.

Whats the vertex at of y-13=2(x+4)^2

Kipish [7]

The vertex form:
$y=a(x-h)^2+k$
(h,k) - the coordinates of the vertex

$y-13=2(x+4)^2 \\
y=2(x+4)^2+13 \\
y=2(x-(-4))^2+13 \\ \\
h=-4 \\ k=13$

The coordinates of the vertex are (-4,13).
