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!
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
slope = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
= (3-1)/(0-1)
= 2/-1
= -2
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The gradient = change in y / change in x
When the x value increases by 1, the y value decreases by 2 so -2 / 1 = -2
The y intercept is 4, so it is +4
Assuming the order of selection doesn't matter:

X32 but 32 is the smaller numbers
