The distance from the person to the mirror is 5 ft. The distance from the mirror to the giraffe is 15 ft.

15/5 = 3

Multiply the height of the person by 3:

5 ft = 60 inches 60+3 = 63 inches

63 x 3 = 189 inches

189/12 = 15.75 ft = 15 feet 9 inches

The giraffe is 15 ft 9 inches tall

Which equation is y = 2x2 – 8x + 9 rewritten in vertex form?

pishuonlain [190]

we have

$y=2x^{2} -8x+9$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$y-9=2x^{2} -8x$

Factor the leading coefficient

$y-9=2(x^{2} -4x)$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

$y-9+8=2(x^{2} -4x+4)$

$y-1=2(x^{2} -4x+4)$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$y-1=2(x-2)^{2}$

$y=2(x-2)^{2} +1$ -----> equation in vertex form

therefore

the answer is the option C

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