The function f(t) = 4t^2 − 8t + 6 shows the height from the ground f(t), in meters, of a roller coaster car at different times t

. Write f(t) in the vertex form a(x − h)^2 + k, where a, h, and k are integers, and interpret the vertex of f(t).
A - f(t) = 4(t − 1)^2 + 3; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 3 meters from the ground
B - f(t) = 4(t − 1)^2 + 3; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 1 meter from the ground
C - f(t) = 4(t − 1)^2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 2 meters from the ground
D - f(t) = 4(t − 1)^2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 1 meter from the ground

Answer:

C - f(t) = 4(t − 1)^2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 2 meters from the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we're asked to rewrite the given equation f(t) = 4t^2 − 8t + 6 in the form f(t) = a(t - h)^2 + k (which is known as the "vertex form of the equation of a parabola.")  Here (h, k) is the vertex and a is a scale factor.

Let's begin by factoring 4 out of all three terms:

f(t) = 4 [ t^2 - 2t + 6/4 ]

Next, we must "complete the square" of t^2 - 2t + 6/4; in other words, we must re-write this expression in the form (t - h)^2 + k.

(To be continued)

Inessa [10]
Reflecting across the x axis changes the y value to the opposite, but doesn't change the x value, so the new values are:
(-2,2), (-6, 8), (-8, 8)

For breakfast, Randy had two Egg
elixir [45]
Since the only difference in the two meals is one egg mcmuffin, then the difference in the calorie count has to be due to the mcmuffin.  So

750 - 450 = 300 calories for an egg mcmuffin.

Jack's egg mcmuffin and hashbrowns totaled 450 calories.  Since we know that an egg mcmuffin is 300 calories, then the hashbrowns have to be

450 - 300 = 150 calories
