Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of quadrilateral ABCD changes as the moving platform swings around, but its side lengths do not change. Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent, so ABCD is a parallelogram by the Parallelogram Opposite Sides Converse. By the definition of a parallelogram, — AB — DC .

The standard form of a quadratic equation is given as y=ax^2+bx+c and vertex form is given as y=a(x−h)^2+k. Write a formula that

Tju [1.3M]

Answers:

$h = -\frac{b}{2a}\\\\k = \frac{-b^2+4ac}{4a}\\\\$

where 'a' cannot be zero.

=========================================================

Explanation:

The vertex is (h,k)

The x coordinate of the vertex is h which is found through this formula

$x = -\frac{b}{2a}$

For example, if we had the quadratic $y = 3x^2-6x+5$ , then we'll plug in a = 3 and b = -6 to get: $h = -\frac{b}{2a} = -\frac{-6}{2*3} = 1$

------------

To find the value of k, we plug that h value into the original standard form of the quadratic and simplify.

$y = ax^2+bx+c\\\\k = ah^2+bh+c\\\\k = a\left(\frac{-b}{2a}\right)^2+b\left(\frac{-b}{2a}\right)+c\\\\k = a*\frac{b^2}{4a^2}+\frac{-b^2}{2a}+c\\\\k = \frac{b^2}{4a}+\frac{-b^2}{2a}+c\\\\$

$k = \frac{b^2}{4a}+\frac{-b^2}{2a}*\frac{2}{2}+c*\frac{4a}{4a}\\\\k = \frac{b^2}{4a}+\frac{-2b^2}{4a}+\frac{4ac}{4a}\\\\k = \frac{b^2-2b^2+4ac}{4a}\\\\k = \frac{-b^2+4ac}{4a}\\\\$

It's interesting how we end up with the numerator of $-b^2+4ac$ which is similar to $b^2-4ac$ found under the square root in the quadratic formula. There are other ways to express that formula above. We need $a \ne 0$ to avoid dividing by zero. The values of b and c are allowed to be zero.
