Answer: 8.66666666667
Step-by-step explanation:
Your answer will be letter b
Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation. Then: <span>f(x) = (x – 3)^2 – 1.
By comparing this equation to y-k = (x-h)^2
you can see that h=3 and k= -1. Thus, the vertex is at (3, -1).
The axis of symm. goes thru the vertex, so is x = 3.
The domain is the set of all real numbers.
Since the vertex is (3, -1), the smallest value y can take on is -1. Thus, the range is [-1, infinity)
