Why is the vertex of vertex form y=a(x-h)^2+k (h,k) rather than (-h,k)? If that was y=2(x-5)^2+6, the vertex would be at (5,6) w

hich is (-h,k).​

Answer:

  (5, 6) is (h, k)

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex form is an instance of the transformation of parent function f(x) = x². It is vertically scaled by a factor of 'a', and translated so the vertex is point (h, k). That is, the transformed vertex is h units right and k units up from that of the parent function (0, 0).

Parent:

  f(x) = x^2

Transformed:

  f(x) = a(x -h)^2 +k

__

When you compare the form to your specific instance, you need to pay attention to what it is that you're comparing. As the attachment shows, ...

  • a = 2
  • -h = -5   ⇒   h = 5
  • k = 6

Hence the vertex is (h, k) = (5, 6). The second attachment shows this on a graph.

the exterior angle of a regular polygon is one third the size of its interior angle. how many sides does the polygon have
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

8 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the exterior angle then 3x is the interior angle

interior angle + exterior angle = 180° , then

x + 3x = 180

4x = 180 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 45

the sum of the exterior angles of a polygon = 360°

since the polygon is regular with each exterior angle = 45°, then

number of sides = 360° ÷ 45° = 8

Question 4 (1 point) Determine whether the ordered pair (3,28) is a solution to the equation 2x- y/2 = -8 (3, 28) Is a solution
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

It is a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x - \frac{y}{2} = -8

Required

Determine if (3,28) is a solution

(3,28) implies that:

x = 3

y = 28

To check if it is a solution, we simply substitute values for x and y in the given equation;

2x - \frac{y}{2} = -8

2(3) - \frac{28}{2} = -8

6 - 14= -8

-8= -8

Since both sides of the equation are equal; then, Yes, it is a solution
