a) <u>n² + 6 </u>
~Here n is the number of term. So, put n = 1,2,3,4.... to get the term.
b) <u>3n²</u>
Answer:
y = -3(x - 4)² - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the vertex, (4, -2), and the point (2, -14):
We can use the vertex form of the quadratic equation:
y = a(x - h)² + k
Where:
(h, k) = vertex
a = determines whether the graph opens up or down, and it also makes the parent function <u>wider</u> or <u>narrower</u>.
<em>h </em>=<em> </em>determines how far left or right the parent function is translated.
<em>k</em> determines how far up or down the parent function is translated.
Now that I've set up the definitions for each variable of the vertex form, we can determine the quadratic equation using the given vertex and the point:
vertex (h, k): (4, -2)
point (x, y): (2, -14)
Substitute these values into the vertex form to solve for a:
y = a(x - h)² + k
-14 = a(2 - 4)² -2
-14 = a (-2)² -2
-14 = a4 + -2
Add to to both sides:
-14 + 2 = a4 + -2 + 2
-12 = 4a
Divide both sides by 4 to solve for a:
-12/4 = 4a/4
-3 = a
Therefore, the quadratic equation inI vertex form is:
y = -3(x - 4)² - 2
The parabola is downward-facing, and is vertically compressed by a factor of -3. The graph is also horizontally translated 4 units to the right, and vertically translated 2 units down.
Attached is a screenshot of the graph where it shows the vertex and the given point, using the vertex form that I came up with.
