The general vertex form is this:
v(x) = a (x-h)2 + k
where (h,k) is the coordinates of the of vertex.
and a indicates the widening or shrinking of the function compared to another parabolic function. If a become bigger, the graph becomes narrower. If a becomes negative, the graph is reflected over the x-axis.
Comparing f(x) = x2 with g(x) = -3(x+6)2 + 48, we have the following transformations:
The graph is reflected over the x-axis
The graph is made narrower.
The graph is shifted 6 units to the left.
The graph is shifted 48 units up.
From the choices we only have:
<span>The graph of f(x) = x2 is made narrower</span>
There’s an invisible 1 in front of the minus sign and an invisible 1 in front of the variable.
-1(r+4)=-3 —> -1 times 1r = -1r. -1 times 4 = -4
Multiply inside the parentheses.
-1r-4=-3
Now add 4 to both sides.
-1r-4=-3
+4=+4
-1r = 1
Now divide
R= -1
Hey!
Sorry for this late response...
I actually had this same question
so the answer is : 81
~hope this helps~
