f(x) = x^2 + 16x
Completing the square.
f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k
f(x) = (x + 8)^2 - 64
h = -8, k = -64
Vertex = (h,k)
Vertex = (-8, -64)

Explanation:
The given piecewise function is

At first piecewise functions may be strange confusing things, but they aren't so bad. I like to think of it like this: f(x) is a function that changes its identity based on what the input x is. We have three situations
- f(x) = -4x+3 when x < 3
- f(x) = -x^3 when

- f(x) = 3x^2+1 when x > 8
In a sense, we have three different functions but they are combined somehow.
If x is smaller than 3, then we go for the first definition. Or if x is between 3 and 8, then we go for the second definition. Or if x is larger than 8, then we go for the third definition.
-----------------------
f(-5) means f(x) when x = -5. We see that -5 is smaller than 3, so x = -5 makes x < 3 true. We'll use the first definition
f(x) = -4x+3
f(-5) = -4(-5)+3
f(-5) = 20+3
f(-5) = 23
------------------------
Now the input is x = 12. This is larger than 8. In other words, x = 12 makes x > 8 true. We'll use the third definition
f(x) = 3x^2+1
f(12) = 3(12)^2+1
f(12) = 3(144)+1
f(12) = 432+1
f(12) = 433
------------------------
Side notes:
- We won't use the second definition since we don't have any x inputs between 3 and 8
- To say "less than or equal to" on a keyboard, you can write "<=" without quotes. For example,
is the same as x<=5
Answer:
Bottom right
First you multiply the bottom (2.5 x 1.5) to get 3.75. Then multiply 3.75 by 2 to got 7.5.
Whole equation: (2.5 x 1.5) x 2.0 = 7.5
