Make an x and y table, and pick any values to plug in for x in the equation.
I will use the numbers from -2 to 2
Now plug in the values you picked for x into the equation to find its y-value
x = -2
y = 3x - 1 Plug in -2 for x
y = 3(-2) - 1
y = -6 - 1
y = -7
x = -1
y = 3x - 1
y = 3(-1) - 1
y = -3 - 1
y = -4
Do the same for the rest of the numbers, and graph each point and draw a line connecting them.
Answer:
The value of n is -6
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ k(x) = x²
→ Its graph is a parabola with vertex (0, 0)
∴ The vertex of the prabola which represents it is (0, 0)
∵ The given graph is the graph of p(x)
∵ Its vertex is (0, -6)
∴ h = 0 and k = -6
∵ a = 1
→ Substitute them in the form above
∴ p(x) = 1(x - 0)² + -6
∴ p(x) = x² - 6
→ Substitute x² by k(x)
∴ p(x) = k(x) - 6
∵ p(x) = k(x) + n
→ By comparing the two right sides
∴ n = -6
∴ The value of n is -6
Look at the attached figure for more understanding
The red parabola represents k(x)
The blue parabola represents p(x)
