Answer:
1a) f(x) = -1/3(x + 12)² + 9
1b) f(x) = -1/3x² - 8x - 39
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Algebra I</u>
Equality Properties
Expand by FOIL (First Outside Inside Last)
Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0
Transformations Graph: f(x) = a(bx - c)² + d
- a = vertical shrink/stretch
- b = horizontal shrink/stretch
- c = horizontal movement left/right
- d = vertical movement up/down
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
Reflected down and vertically stretched by 1/3: a = -1/3
Shifted vertically by 9 units: d = 9
Shifted horizontally by -12 units: c = -12
<u>Step 2: Write Vertex Form</u>
- Define: f(x) = a(bx - c)² + d
- Substitute: f(x) = -1/3(x + 12)² + 9
<u>Step 3: Write Standard Form</u>
- Define: f(x) = -1/3(x + 12)² + 9
- Expand: f(x) = -1/3(x² + 24x + 144) + 9
- Distribute -1/3: f(x) = -1/3x² - 8x - 48 + 9
- Combine like terms: f(x) = -1/3x² - 8x - 39
And we have our final answers!

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
Determine the true statement about b
The question is incomplete as options are not given. However, a general explanation is as follows:
Rewrite
When a = 0
When a = 1
This means that:
For
Then 
<em>This means that: b is a number between 0 and 8</em>
The formula of a slope:
We have the points (2, 2) and (-1, -4).
Substitute:
You would round up because 24 16/17 is closer to 25 and 4 8/9 is closer to 5.
which would be 25/5 which estimates to 5.
