Question

What is the value of h in the function f(x)=1/2(x=5)2-9?
A. 5
B. 1/2
C. 9
D. -5

Answer 1

I am very confused: Why do you have a second equals sign in the middle of the function, and where is h?

Answer 2

they didnt give me an h value :-/
and that was supposed to be x=5

Answer 3

I am now more confused. n_n

Answer 4

what? I'm confused too. The way you typed your problem is that exactly the way it looks?

Answer 5

yeah. but the 2 is small and its raised

Answer 6

and inside the parenthesis is x=5?

Answer 7

\[f(x)=\frac{1}{2}(x \pm 5)^2-9\]
i think it should either be + or -

Answer 8

\[f(x)=\frac{1}{2}(x=5)^2-9...\]I can't seem to make any sense of this.

Answer 9

and I'm assuming you want to find the x coordinate of the parabola

Answer 10

Ummm, I guess.. I dont know. Im really really bad at math

Answer 11

can you write the function down one more time?

Answer 12

and i meant x coordinate of the vertex of the parabola lol

Answer 13

f(x)=1/2(x+5)2-9

Answer 14

ok great!

Answer 15

now it makes more sense

Answer 16

oh. sorry! haha

Answer 17

\[f(x)=\frac{1}{2}(x+5)^2-9\]
\[f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k\]
what is h?

Answer 18

well we want -h=5 right?

Answer 19

so if -h=5, then h=?

Answer 20

-5? lol sorry, im super weak in math

Answer 21

-5 is tight!

Answer 22

i mean right*
