Answer:
root(x+6) +3
Step-by-step explanation:
so you see that it is moved 2 left and 5 up
so root (x+6) +3
The y-value of the vertex is positive 3, as shown by the +3 on the right hand side of the equation, and the x-value is -1, from the (x+1)^2 (remember, when the number is inside the brackets, flip the sign) The vertex would be (-1, 3)
If you are looking for a rigorous answer (calculus), we must find the mininum point of the equation: f(x) = (x+1)^2 + 3 f
f'(x) = 2(x+1) = 2x + 2
2x + 2 = 0
x = -1
f(1) = (-1 + 1)^2 + 3
f(1) = 0 + 3 = 3
(-1, 3)
I'm not really sure but I know that the answer is <u>definitely not</u> 0.25 or 0.5.
