Answer: Vertex : Maximum (2, 0)
Rules:
- (x + d)² = x² + 2dx + d² and (x - d)² = x² - 2dx + d²
- x² + 2dx = (x + d)² - d² and x² - 2dx = (x - d)² - d²
Solve:
x² - 4x + 4
x² - 2(2x) + 2²
(x - 2)²
Into vertex form: a(x - h)² + k
1(x - 2)² + 0
Identify:
vertex : (h, k) = (2, 0)
Find additional things, to graph the equation:
(i) x-intercept: (2, 0)
(ii) y-intercept: (0, 4)
Graph shown:
Using the formula
L=rx (x=angle)
x=L/r
x=8/3
x=2.6 radians

Taking natural logs of both sides, we get
0.015t=ln 3
t = ln 3/0.015 = 73.24
The answer is 73.24 years.
The correct answer is C. The form for shifts is (x-h)^2 +k where h=the x variable ( horizontal shift left or right) and k = the y variable (vertical shift up or down) The confusing part for many students is remember that if you are moving left it's subtraction So in the form x-h it is actually x - (-h) so it gets turned into a positive/ addition sign.
