We are given a function f ( x ) defined as follows:

We are to determine the value of f ( x ) when,

In such cases, we plug in/substitue the given value of x into the expressed function f ( x ) as follows:

We will apply the power on both numerator and denominator as follows:

Now we evaluate ( 2 ) raised to the power of ( 1 / 9 ).

Next apply the division operation as follows:

Once, we have evaluated the answer in decimal form ( 5 decimal places ). We will round off the answer to nearest thousandths.
Rounding off to nearest thousandth means we consider the thousandth decimal place ( 3rd ). Then we have the choice of either truncating the decimal places ( 4th and onwards ). The truncation only occurs when (4th decimal place) is < 5.
However, since the (4th decimal place) = 8 > 5. Then we add ( 1 ) to the 3rd decimal place and truncate the rest of the decimal places i.e ( 4th and onwards ).
The answer to f ( 1 / 2 ) to the nearest thousandth would be:

Answer: -27 is the correct answer. (apparently)
PART A
The equation of the parabola in vertex form is given by the formula,

where

is the vertex of the parabola.
We substitute these values to obtain,

The point, (3,6) lies on the parabola.
It must therefore satisfy its equation.




Hence the equation of the parabola in vertex form is

PART B
To obtain the equation of the parabola in standard form, we expand the vertex form of the equation.

This implies that

We expand to obtain,

This will give us,


This equation is now in the form,

where

This is the standard form
