What is the x-value of the vertex?

f (x) = (x + 2)^2 - 1

x-value of the vertex:

x-value of the vertex:-2

Solution given:

we have

f(x)=(x+2)²-1

y=x²+4x+3(I)

parameters of parabola are:

a=1

b=4

c=3

we have

vertex=-b/2a=-4/(2*1)=-2

substitute value of x in equation 1.

y=4-8+3= -1

So

vertex(-2,1)

Rewrite the equation in expanded form:

(X+2)^2 -1 = x^2 + 4x + 3

The parabola parameters are : a = 1, b = 4, c = 3

The x vertex is -b/2a = -4/2(1) = -2

Replace x with -2 in the expanded equation to solve for the y vertex:

Y = -1

The vertex is (-2,-1)

the best buy, is the 4- kilogram bag of lollipops for $18.40.

step-by-step explanation:

i found my answer by dividing the cost of each bag by their respective weights.

14.88 divided by 2 = 7.44

17.29 divided by 3 = 5.77

18.4 divided by 4 = 4.6

24.4 divided by 5 = 4.88

by this, i found that the 4 kilo bag is the best buy.

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
