The function f(t) = 4t2 − 8t + 7 shows the height from the ground f(t), in meters, of a roller coaster car at different times t.

Write f(t) in the vertex form a(x − h)2 + k, where a, h, and k are integers, and interpret the vertex of f(t).
A) f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 3; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 3 meters from the ground
B) f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 3; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 1 meter from the ground
C) f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 2 meters from the ground
D) f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 1 meter from the ground

Answer:

A) f(t) = 4(t − 1)^2 + 3; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 3 meters from the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

f(t) = 4t^2 − 8t + 7

Factor out 4 from the first two terms

f(t) = 4(t^2 − 2t) + 7

Complete the square

(-2/2)^2 =1  But there is a 4 out front so we add 4 and then subtract 4 to balance

f(t) = 4( t^2 -2t+1) -4 +7

f(t) = 4( t-1)^2 +3

The vertex is (1,3)

This is the minimum since a>0

The minimun is y =3 and occurs at t =1

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12. Move the variables to the left-hand side and change its sign. Move the constant to the left-hand side and change its sign. Collect like terms. Add the numbers. Divide both sides of the equation by 12.

1/2 x - 5= - 1/2 x + 19/4
6x -20= - 6x + 57
6x + 6x= 57 + 20
12x= 57 + 20
12x= 77

I need help please quiz

Answer:

f(x - 4) = x^2 - 6x+ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x^2 + 2x

Required

Find f(x - 4)

Substitute x - 4 for x

f(x - 4) = (x- 4)^2 + 2(x - 4)

Expand

f(x - 4) = x^2 - 8x + 16 + 2x - 8

Collect like terms

f(x - 4) = x^2 - 8x + 2x+ 16  - 8

f(x - 4) = x^2 - 6x+ 8
