In your lab, a substance's temperature has been observed to follow the function T(x) = (x − 1)3 + 5. The turning point of the gr

aph is where the substance changes from a liquid to a gas. Using complete sentences in your written answer, explain to your fellow scientists how to find the turning point of this function. Hint: The turning point of the graph is similar to the vertex of a quadratic function. (10 points)

If it is a calculus question then you can find the derivative dT/dx, set it to zero and solve for x.  If this is a pre-calculus question, then you can answer is it as follows: 

The function T = x^3 has a turning point at x = 0. We can determine this simply by looking at the graph T = x^3. Therefore, (0,0) is the turning point for the graph T = x^3. The function T(x) = (x - 4)^3 + 6 will be the graph T = x^3 shifted to the right by 4 units and shifted up by 6 units. Therefore, the turning point will also shift from (0,0) to 4 units to the right and 6 units up. The turning point will be (4,6) for the function T(x) = (x - 4)^3 + 6.

You're welcome :)

Anika [276]

Answer:

\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{1}{2}x^2-2x+1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of an equation of a parabola:

y=a(x-h)^2+k

<em>(h, k)</em><em> - vertex</em>

<em>a</em><em> - leading coefficient in equation </em><em>y = ax² + bx + c</em>

<em />

From the grap we can read coordinates of the vertex (2, -1) and y-intercept (0, 1).

Therefore <em>h = 2, k = -1</em>

Put the values of <em>h, k</em> and coordinates of the y-intercept to the equation of parabola:

1=a(0-2)^2-1     <em>add 1 to both sides</em>

1+1=a(2)^2-1+1

2=4a              <em>divide both sides by 4</em>

\dfrac{2}{4}=\dfrac{4a}{4}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}=a\to a=\dfrac{1}{2}

Therefore we have the equation:

y=\dfrac{1}{2}(x-2)^2-1

Convert to the standard form:

y=\dfrac{1}{2}(x-2)^2-1       <em>use (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²</em>

y=\dfrac{1}{2}(x^2-2(x)(2)+2^2)-1

y=\dfrac{1}{2}(x^2-4x+4)-1           <em>use the distributive property</em>

y=\dfrac{1}{2}x^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot4x+\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot4-1

y=\dfrac{1}{2}x^2-2x+2-1          <em>combine like terms</em>

y=\dfrac{1}{2}x^2-2x+1
