Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that a horizontal translation (shift) in 3 units to the right involves directly subtracting 3 from the variable x (horizontal axis variable) , and that moving the function up 5 units involves adding to the whole function 5 units. That is:
Step-by-step explanation:
g(x)=3x+5
g(-3)=3(-3)+5
=-9+5
=-4
First, we are going to find the vertex of our quadratic. Remember that to find the vertex
of a quadratic equation of the form
, we use the vertex formula
, and then, we evaluate our equation at
to find
.
We now from our quadratic that
and
, so lets use our formula:
Now we can evaluate our quadratic at 8 to find
:
So the vertex of our function is (8,-72)
Next, we are going to use the vertex to rewrite our quadratic equation:
The x-coordinate of the minimum will be the x-coordinate of the vertex; in other words: 8.
We can conclude that:
The rewritten equation is
The x-coordinate of the minimum is 8
