The vertex form of a quadratic function is:
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
The coordinate (h, k) represents a parabola's vertex.
In order to convert a quadratic function in standard form to the vertex form, we can complete the square.
y = 2x² - 5x + 13
Move the constant, 13, to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides of the equation.
y - 13 = 2x² - 5x
Factor out 2 on the right side of the equation.
y - 13 = 2(x² - 2.5x)
Add (b/2)² to both sides of the equation, but remember that since we factored 2 out on the right side of the equation we have to multiply (b/2)² by 2 again on the left side.
y - 13 + 2(2.5/2)² = 2(x² - 2.5x + (2.5/2)²)
y - 13 + 3.125 = 2(x² - 2.5x + 1.5625)
Add the constants on the left and factor the expression on the right to a perfect square.
y - 9.875 = 2(x - 1.25)²
Now, we need y to be by itself again so add 9.875 back to both sides of the equation to move it back to the right side.
y = 2(x - 1.25)² + 9.875
Vertex: (1.25, 9.875)
Solution: y = 2(x - 1.25)² + 9.875
Or if you prefer fractions
y = 2(x - 5/4)² + 79/8
Answer:
I am not getting what is this
Answer:
-8x^12
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have an exponent outside of parenthesis, it is raising everything in the parenthesis to that exponent (in this case, the third). The first step to solve this is to multiply the exponents in the parenthesis by 3. This is called the power of a power rule.
-2 is being raised to the first power. 1x3 = 3, and x is being raised to the fourth power. 4x3 = 12, so you now have:
-2^3x^12
You can simplify -2^3: -2 x -2 x -2 = -8
This leaves you with -8x^12
You can check this by putting -8x^12 and (-2x^4)^3 into a graphing calculator. You know that you simplified correctly if they show the same graphs.
Let the number be X
3x+5=26
3x= 26-5
3x=21
x=7
The number is 7
Proof if it is required on your test:
3x+5=26
3(7)+5= 26
21+5=26
26=26
(Hope this helps!)
