How do you find the AOS and vertex of a quadratic?
1 answer:
Answer:
The standard form of a quadratic is y = ax^2 + bx + c.
- In this equation, the formula for the axis of symmetry is x =
.
- You know that the center will always be along that line, and you've got the x-coordinate already, so just plug that in and get the y-coordinate out for the center.
The vertex form of a quadratic is also helpful, y = a(x-h)^2 + k.
- In this equation, the formula for the center is (h, k), and the axis of symmetry is x = h! That's even easier!

Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Triangle A is attached in the image below.
The base of triangle A is 3 units and its height is 3 units. The area of a triangle is given as:
Area = (1/2) × base × height
Area of triangle A = (1/2) × base × height = (1/2) × 3 × 3 = 4.5 unit²
Area of the scaled copy = 72 unit²
Ratio of area = Area of the scaled copy / Area of triangle A = 72 unit² / 4.5 unit² = 16
Hence the scaled copy area is 16 times larger than that of triangle A.
b) For the scaled copy:
Area of the scaled copy = (1/2) × base × height = 72 unit²
base × height = 144
Since the base and height are equal
base² = 144
base = 12, also height = 12
Base of scaled copy = 12 = 4 × base of triangle A
Therefore the scale factor used is 4
