Answer
y = 1(x +1) - 3
Explanation
A quadratic equation of the form y = ax^2 + bx + c
This written in complete the square form provides you with the vertex (either a maximum or minimum point depending on the equation).
This results in y = a(x + p) + q
Where - p is the x value and q is the y value of turning point.
For graph 22, x = -1 and y = -3
Therefore, the equation is of the form
y = a(x + 1) - 3 (*)
We still need the value a, this can be obtained by using the y-intercept we are given.
We are told x = 0 when y = -2
Substitute this in (*) equation:
-2 = a(0+1) - 3
-2 = a - 3
a = 1
Therefore final equation is
y = 1(x +1) - 3
This should provide you with the train of thought of how the second question should also be tackled.
If unsure about why the equation
y = a(x + p) + q gives the vertex ask in comments I will respond
I'm assuming all of (x^2+9) is in the denominator. If that assumption is correct, then,
One possible answer is 
Another possible answer is 
There are many ways to do this. The idea is that when we have f( g(x) ), we basically replace every x in f(x) with g(x)
So in the first example above, we would have
In that third step, g(x) was replaced with x^2+9 since g(x) = x^2+9.
Similar steps will happen with the second example as well (when g(x) = x^2)
Answer:
b = 87°
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to answer this question, we need to utilise an important angle fact which is <em>angles in a quadrilateral add up to 360° </em>
Using the information we can set up an equation to find the value of b
→ Form equation
63 + 140 + 70 + b = 360
→ Simplify
273 + b = 360
→ Minus 273 from both sides isolate b
b = 87°
M = - 1
- 2 = - 1 ( 2 ) + c
- 2 = - 2 + c
c = 0
y = - x
