Answer:
The value of n is -6
Step-by-step explanation:
- If the function f(x) is translated k units up, then its image is g(x) = f(x) + k
- If the function f(x) is translated k units down, then its image is g(x) = f(x) - k
- The vertex form of the quadratic function is f(x) = a(x - h)² + k, where a is the coefficient of x² and (h, k) is the vertex
∵ 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)
Let's start with " times a number". We will use
to represent the number.
" less than" is next.
Finally, "is ".
Put it all together to get an expression.
Now, let's solve for the unknown number.
Add on both sides of the equation.
Divide both sides of the equation by to isolate
