Question

The function g(x) = 3x - 12x + 7 written in vertex form is g(x) = 3(x - 2)2 – 5. What is the vertex of g(x)?

Answer 1

$\bf ~~~~~~\textit{parabola vertex form} \\\\ \begin{array}{llll} \stackrel{\textit{we'll use this one}}{y=a(x- h)^2+ k}\\\\ x=a(y- k)^2+ h \end{array} \qquad\qquad vertex~~(\stackrel{}{ h},\stackrel{}{ k}) \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ g(x)=3(x-\stackrel{h}{2})^2+(\stackrel{k}{-5})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{vertex}}{(2,-5)}$
