Transforming quadratic graphs

f(x) = 3(x - 2)² + 4

OR  

f(x) = 3x² - 12x + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex form of a parabola:

Standard form of a parabola:

Let's find the vertex of this parabola.

In order to find the a-value (vertex form), let's use another point besides the vertex on the parabola.

Using (3, 7) for (x, y), let's substitute this point and the vertex (2, 4) for (h, k) into the vertex form equation and solve for a.

Simplify using PEMDAS.

Subtract 4 from both sides.

Now we have (h, k) and a of the vertex form.

In order to convert from vertex to standard form, simplify the equation by FOILing.

Distribute 3 inside the parentheses.

Combine like terms.

Therefore, we have the

Vertex form:

Standard form:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

the domain is the set { -2, 0, 2, 3}

discussion:

the domain is the set of x values in the ordered pairs (x,y). taking the x, or first component, of each ordered pair gives   -2, 0, 2, 3.

you,

mrb

since we know that the two functions are equal, f (x) = g

(x), therefore when we equate the two equations the result should be similar to

3x = x – 4:

a. f(x) = 3x, g(x) = x – 4

equating the two functions:

3x = x – 4             (correct)

so we now got our answer (a)
