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

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 width of a rectangle is 8y- 1.5 feet and the length is 1.5y+9 feet. Find the perimeter of the rectangle.
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

P=19y+15

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

dimension of the rectangle

Width = 8y-1.5

Length = 1.5y+9

Required

The expression to represents the Perimeter

Step two:

the perimeter of  a rectangle is expressed as

P= 2L+2W\\\\P=2(1.5y+9)+2(8y-1.5)\\\\P=3y+18+16y-3\\\\

collect like terms

P=3y+16y+18-3\\\\P=19y+15
