Answer:
y = -3/8(x + 2)^2 + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
vertex form is
y = a(x - b)^2 + c where a is a constant and (b,c) is the vertex.
The maximum is at (-2, 8) because x 8 = height and x =-2 is equn. of symmetry
So here we have
y = a(x - (-2))^2 + 8
y = a(x + 2)^2 + 8
Now at the point (-6, 2):
2 = a(-6+2)^2 + 8
2 = 16a + 8
16a = -6
1 = -3/8.
So our equation is y = 3/8(x + 2)^2 + 8
Same thing as before!
First, we can get rid of d(x) simply by looking at it because we can tell it's linear (it's a straight line). If we look at the table, we can see a(x) is also linear because it has a steady rate of growth. b(x) and c(x) both represent exponential growth. The curved shape of b(x) shows us this is exponential growth, and the exponent in c(x) tells us it's also exponential.
Answer would definitely be A
You need to find the midpoint of the line. To get x coordinate you take (x1 + x2)/2 which is (-3+-7)/2 = -10/2 = -5. Same thing applies for y.
