The value of the expression in the form a(x+b)^2 is 1.5(x+2)^2 - 4

<h3>Vertex Form of a quadratic expression</h3>

Given the quadratic expressions

1.5x^2+6x+......

1.5(x^2 + 4x)

Using the completing the square method

The coefficient of x = 4

Half of the coefficient = 4/2 = 2

The square of the result = 2^2 = 4

The equation is expressed as:

f(x) = 1.5(x^2+4x+ 4) - 4

f(x) = 1.5(x+2)^2 - 4

Hence the value of the expression in the form a(x+b)^2 is 1.5(x+2)^2 - 4

The parent function f(x) = log3x has been transformed by reflecting it over the x-axis, stretching it vertically by a factor of

artcher [175]

Answer:

Third option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some transformations for a function f(x), are:

If $f(x)+k$ , the function is shifted down "k" units.

If $f(x)-k$ , the function is shifted up "k" units.

If $bf(x)$ , and $b>1$ , the functio is stretch vertically by a factor of "b".

If $-f(x)$ , the function is reflected over the x-axis.

Therefore, knowing that the parent function $f(x) = log_3(x)$ was transformated by reflecting it over the x-axis, stretching vertically by a factor of 2 and shifting it down 3 units, we can determine that the following function represents the transformation:
