Question

1. MONDAY (5/18): Which of the following functions matches the graph to the right

Answer 1

Answer:

a.) f(x) = -⅙(x+3)²+6

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum value, our vertex, is at point (-3,6).

We can insert this value into the vertex form of a quadratic function and then solve for a as follows...

$4.5 = a(0 +3)^2 +6\\4.5=a(9)+6\\-1.5 = 9a \\-.17=a\\a = -1/6$

a equals -1/6... We can input this into the original equation we used...

f(x) = -1/6(x+3)^2+6

Good luck on the bellwork ;)
