Answer and Step-by-step explanation: <u>Standard</u> <u>form</u> of a quadratic equation is expressed as: y=ax²+bx+c, while <u>vertex</u> <u>form</u> is written as:
y=a(x-h)²+k.
The similarities between standard and vertex forms is that they show if the graph of the equation has a <u>minimum</u> (when a>0) or <u>maximum</u> (a<0) and it's easier to determine the y-intercept: for standard, the value of c is the intercept; for vertex, the value k is the intercept.
The advantage of standard form is that you can determine the product and sum of the equation's roots, which is a method to determine them.
The advantages of vertex form are: easier to find the vertex of the graph, which is the pair (h,k) and the axis of symmetry, which is the value of h.
Answer:
This is a reflection about the x-axis.
Step-by-step explanation:
A reflection about the x-axis has the rule
[x,y]-> [x,-y].
Therefore
M[x,y] = [x,-y}
Let M=
|a b|
|c d|
Then the matrix multiplication gives
ax+by=x.............(1)
cx+dy=-y............(2)
Solving the previous equations (1) and (2) gives
a=1, b=0
c=0, d=-1
giving M as
|1 0|
|0 -1|
