Question

What is the equation of the following graph in vertex form? Courtesy of Texas Instruments A. y = (x − 4)2 − 4 B. y = (x + 4)2 − 4 C. y = (x + 2)2 + 6 D. y = (x + 2)2 + 12

Answer 1

Answer:

A: y = (x − 4)^2 − 4

Step-by-step explanation:

vertex=(4.-4)

A: y = (x − 4)^2 − 4

y=x^2-8x+16-4

y=x^2-8x+12 (a=1,b=-8,c=12)

the y intercept is (0,12)

vertex ( h, k)

h=-b/2a ⇒ h=-(-8)/2=4

plug the value of h in the equation y=x^2-8x+12

k=4²-8(4)+12

k=16-32+12

k=-4

v(4,-4)
