Answer:
(5, 6) is (h, k)
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertex form is an instance of the transformation of parent function f(x) = x². It is vertically scaled by a factor of 'a', and translated so the vertex is point (h, k). That is, the transformed vertex is h units right and k units up from that of the parent function (0, 0).
Parent:
f(x) = x^2
Transformed:
f(x) = a(x -h)^2 +k
__
When you compare the form to your specific instance, you need to pay attention to what it is that you're comparing. As the attachment shows, ...
- a = 2
- -h = -5 ⇒ h = 5
- k = 6
Hence the vertex is (h, k) = (5, 6). The second attachment shows this on a graph.
