Algebra:
A standard parabola is y = x^2. Its vertex is at (0,0)
You can change the position (or vertex) of the parabola.
To move a parabola across the x-axis, you can add or subtract a number from x WITHIN brackets of the ^2
eg. (x + 1)^2 will move the parabola across the x-axis. It will move is one unit to the LEFT (as the sign is opposite to the direction it moves ie. The sign it + but you move the whole parabola in the -ve direction).
Adding or subtracting a number from x OUTSIDE of the ^2 moves the parabola up or down the y-axis
eg. x^2 + 3 will move the parabola UP 3 units (the sign is the same as the direction it moves when the added/subtracted number is outside of the ^2 ie. the sign is positive so the parabola moves up in the positive direction)

From this, we can conclude that because (x + 1)^2 + 3, the vertex will be where x = -1 and where y = 3

Vertex : (-1,3)



Calculus:
f(x) = (x + 1)^2 + 3 = x^2 + 2x + 1 + 3 = x^2 + 2x + 4
Expanding the formular to make it easier to differentiate

f'(x) = 2x + 2
Differentiating (finding the formular the the gradiet of the parabola)

0 = 2x + 2
When the gradient is equal to zero, it must be the vertex

-2 = 2x
-2/2 = x
x = -1
Solve to give the x value at the vertex

f(x) = (x + 1)^2 + 3
= (-1 + 1)^2 + 3
Substitute x = -1 into original equatiom to find y value at the vertex

= (0)^2 + 3
= 0 + 3
= 3
Solve for y

Vertex : (-1,3)

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A coordinate grid is shown from negative 5 to 0 to 5 on both x- and y-axes. A polygon ABCD has A at ordered pair (2, 3), B at ordered pair (4, 4), C at ordered pair (3, 1), D at ordered pair (2, 1). A polygon A'B'C'D' has A' at ordered pair (-1, 3), B' at ordered pair (-3, 4), C' at ordered pair (-2, 1), D' at ordered pair (-1, 1).

Which of the following sequences of transformations is used to obtain figure A'B'C'D' from figure ABCD? (1 point)

a ) Counterclockwise rotation by 90 degrees about the origin followed by a translation to the right by 1 unit

b) Counterclockwise rotation by 90 degrees about the origin followed by a translation to the left by 1 unit

c ) Reflection about the x-axis followed by a translation to the left by 1 unit

d ) Reflection about the y-axis followed by a translation to the right by 1 unit

What u have to do is get rid of the fractions. You do this by multiplying by 24.

8k=16

Then, divide by 8 to get:

k=2

The answer is k=2.

What is 70 cm as a fraction of 2.1m
Naily [24]

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We require the quantities to have the same dimensions.

Using the conversion

1 metre = 100 cm, then

2.1 m = 2.1 × 100 = 210 cm

The fraction can then be expressed as

70/210← divide numerator/ denominator by 70

= 1/3 ← in simplest form
