Mathematics
1 answer:
kicyunya [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The vertex is ( -2, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form is

y = a( x-h) ^2 +k

where ( h,k) is the vertex

f(x) = (x + 2)^2 – 4

Rewriting

f(x) = (x -  -2)^2 – 4

The vertex is ( -2, -4)

Need help to write equations for 5, 6 & 7
Softa [21]

A quadratic function has the form
y = ax^2 + bx + c

Use point (3, 5) in the equation above:

5 = a(3^2) + 3b + c
5 = 9a + 3b + c
9a + 3b + c = 5     Equation 1

Use point (4, 3) in the equation above:

3 = a(4^2) + 4b + c
16a + 4b + c = 3    Equation 2

Use point (5, 3) in the equation above.

5 = a(5^2) + 5b + c
25a + 5b + c = 5       Equation 3.

Now solve the system of equations of equations 1, 2, and 3 to find the coefficients, a, b, and c.

9a + 3b + c = 5
16a + 4b + c = 3
25a + 5b + c = 5

Subtract the first equation from the second equation.
Subtract the second equation from the third equation.
You get
7a + b = -2
9a + b = 2

Subtract the first equation above from the second equation to get.
2a = 4
a = 2

Substitute:
7a + b = -2
7(2) + b = -2
b = -16

9a + 3b + c = 5
9(2) + 3(-16) + c = 5
18 - 48 + c = 5
c - 30 = 5
c = 35

The equation in standard form is

y = 2x^2 - 16x + 35

We can find it in vertex form:

y = 2(x^2 - 8x) + 35

y = 2(x^2 - 8x + 16) + 35 - 32

y = 2(x - 4)^2 + 3
