Answer:
y = -3(x - 4)² - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the vertex, (4, -2), and the point (2, -14):
We can use the vertex form of the quadratic equation:
y = a(x - h)² + k
Where:
(h, k) = vertex
a = determines whether the graph opens up or down, and it also makes the parent function <u>wider</u> or <u>narrower</u>.
- <u>positive</u> value of a = opens <u><em>upward</em></u>
- <u>negative</u> value of a = opens <u><em>downward</em></u>
- a is between 0 and 1, (0 < a < 1) the graph is <u><em>wider</em></u> than the parent function.
- a > 1, the graph is <u><em>narrower</em></u> than the parent function.
<em>h </em>=<em> </em>determines how far left or right the parent function is translated.
- h = positive, the function is translated <em>h</em> units to the right.
- h = negative, the function is translated |<em>h</em>| units to the left.
<em>k</em> determines how far up or down the parent function is translated.
- k = positive: translate <em>k</em> units <u><em>up</em></u>.
- k = negative, translate <em>k</em> units <u><em>down</em></u>.
Now that I've set up the definitions for each variable of the vertex form, we can determine the quadratic equation using the given vertex and the point:
vertex (h, k): (4, -2)
point (x, y): (2, -14)
Substitute these values into the vertex form to solve for a:
y = a(x - h)² + k
-14 = a(2 - 4)² -2
-14 = a (-2)² -2
-14 = a4 + -2
Add to to both sides:
-14 + 2 = a4 + -2 + 2
-12 = 4a
Divide both sides by 4 to solve for a:
-12/4 = 4a/4
-3 = a
Therefore, the quadratic equation inI vertex form is:
y = -3(x - 4)² - 2
The parabola is downward-facing, and is vertically compressed by a factor of -3. The graph is also horizontally translated 4 units to the right, and vertically translated 2 units down.
Attached is a screenshot of the graph where it shows the vertex and the given point, using the vertex form that I came up with.

Answer:
x ≈ {0.653059729092, 3.75570086464}
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator can tell you the roots of ...
f(x) = ln(x) -1/(x -3)
are near 0.653 and 3.756. These values are sufficiently close that Newton's method iteration can find solutions to full calculator precision in a few iterations.
In the attachment, we use g(x) as the iteration function. Since its value is shown even as its argument is being typed, we can start typing with the graphical solution value, then simply copy the digits of the iterated value as they appear. After about 6 or 8 input digits, the output stops changing, so that is our solution.
Rounded to 6 decimal places, the solutions are {0.653060, 3.755701}.

A similar method can be used on a calculator such as the TI-84. One function can be defined a.s f(x) is above. Another can be defined as g(x) is in the attachment, by making use of the calculator's derivative function. After the first g(0.653) value is found, for example, remaining iterations can be g(Ans) until the result stops changing,
