Question

The graph of f(x) = x2 has been shifted into the form f(x) = (x − h)2 + k: a parabola with a vertex of 4, negative 2 What is the value of k?

Answer 1

Answer:

k = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x − h)² + k

(h, k) is the (x, y) coordinate of the vertex

For a vertex of (4, -2)

h = 4

k = -2
