Hey There!! ☄️ The general vertex to The general vertex form is this:

v(x) = a (x-h)2 + k

where (h,k) is the coordinates of the of vertex.

and a indicates the widening or shrinking of the function compared to another parabolic function. If a become bigger, the graph becomes narrower. If a becomes negative, the graph is reflected over the x-axis.

Comparing f(x) = x2 with g(x) = -3(x+6)2 + 48, we have the following transformations:

The graph is reflected over the x-axis

The graph is made narrower.

The graph is shifted 6 units to the left.

The graph is shifted 48 units up.

From the choices we only have:

The graph of f(x) = x2 is made narrower

How do you determine the degree of a polynomial

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The degree of a polynomial refers to the highest degree of its individual terms having non-zero coefficients.

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of a polynomial refers to the highest degree of its individual terms having non-zero coefficients. For example;

A quadratic polynomial is a polynomial of degree 2. This polynomial takes the general form;

$ax^{2}+bx+c$

where a, b, and c are constants. This is usually referred to as a quadratic polynomial in x since x is the variable. The highest power of x in the polynomial is 2, hence the degree of any quadratic polynomial is 2.

A second example, consider the cubic polynomial;

$ax^{3}+bx^{2}+cx+d$
