Answer:

C. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is,

f(x) = x^2 - 6x + 14

Here, the coefficient of x = 6,

Thus, We need to add and subtract the square of half of 6 in the given equation for getting the vertex form,

By adding and subtracting 9,

f(x) = x^2 - 6x + 9 + 14 - 9

f(x) = (x-3)^2 + 5   ( Because, a² - 2ab + b² = (a-b)²  )

Which is the required vertex form he will get,

By comparing it with f(x) = (x+h)^2+k

We get, k = 5,

⇒ Option C is correct.

k = 5

the equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

To obtain this form use the method of completing the square

Since the coefficient of the x² term is 1 then

add/ subtract (half the coefficient of the x-term )² to x² - 6x

f(x) = x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 - 9 + 14 = (x - 3)² + 5 → k = 5

What are the x and y-intercepts of the line described by this equation? -6x+3y=18.9?
Naddika [18.5K]

The "x" intercept is found when you plug in "0" for "y"
  -6x + 3(0) = 18.9
        -6x = 18.9  (Divide both sides by -6)
           x = - 3.15
           (-3.15, 0)  is your x-intercept

Now plug in "0" for the x
-6(0) + 3y = 18.9
          3y = 18.9  (Divide both sides by 3)
                y = 6.3
               (0, 6.3) is your y - intercept

Help and please explain so I can do it on my own. There are a couple more on this sheet.​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

(2, -10)

Step-by-step explanation:

so first i find the axis of symmetry using the equation x= -b/2a

in this problem

a=3

b= -12

c= 2

- (-12)/ 2(3) = 2

2 will be the x point for your vertex

you then plug in your x point into the original equation and solve for y

y = 3(2)^2 - 12(2) +2

y = -10

Vertex is then (2, -10)
