Question 6(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)
(08.05 MC)
The function f(x) = x2 + 6x + 3 is transformed such that g(x) = f(x - 2). Find the vertex of g
(-1,-8)
(-3,-4)
(-1,-6)
(-5-6)

(-1,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following function:

The following transformation is applied

So

For a second order function in the format:

The vertex is:

In which

In this problem

So

Then

So the correct answer is:

(-1,-6)

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

you,

okay wait before i answer, is this for your points on a graph?
