Answer: Because the a-value is negative.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The vertex form of a quadratic equation is: y = a(x - h)² + k where
- "a" is the vertical stretch
- -a is a reflection over the x-axis
- h is the horizontal shift (positive = right, negative = left)
- k is the vertical shift (positive = up, negative = down)
Given: g(x) = - (x + 1)² - 3
↓
a= -1
Since the a-value is negative, the parabola will be reflected over the x-axis which will change the curve from (U-shaped) to (∩-shaped).
I would love to help! However I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be helping with. I could just be daft, but it isn't clear what you need from me.
An easy way to find this is to look at the cross section, and see where the lines meet
Answer:
1. Function
2. Not a function
3. Function
4. Not a function
Step-by-step explanation:
A function just means that for each input it outputs only 1 output. This output isn't necessarily unique. So for example if you're just given: f(2) = 3 and f(1) = 3, this is a function since each input only outputs 1 value, even though the output isn't unique, but if you're given: f(3) = 2, f(2) = 1, f(3) = 3. that's not a function since f(3) outputs both 2 and 3.
Anyways now that you hopefully understand this, let's look at each image.
Relation 1: (Function)
So for each input (the domain) it's only pointing to one output (range), even if multiple input (the domain) are pointing to the same output (the range), it's still a function.
Relation 2: (Not a function)
This is not a function, since if you look at the input 7 (the range), you'll see it outputs two things (range). It outputs -6 and -7. So this is not a function
Relation 3: (Function)
This is a function since each x-value (input) has only one y-value (output). So it's a function
Relation 4: (Not a functio)
This is not a function, since there are multiply coordinates with the same x-coordinate (input) and different y-coordinates (output). The x-coordinate 2 has the output b, y, and m, and since no value is given for these variables, it can be assumed they're different values, thus it's not a function.
