f(x)=(x-7)^2-48 a: determine how the para opens and why? b: find the vertex c. find the y-intercepts d: find the x-intercepts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

directoion and opening depends on value of A so it is positive - it opens up. if negative opens down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

standard vertex form is: f(x) = a(x-h)^2+k with vertex at h,k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

h = 7 k = -48 so vertex is 7,-48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find x interceptss by setting y = 0 find y intercepts by ssetting x = 0 so what do you think the x and y intercepts are?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

We have \[f(x)=(x-7)^2-48\] Standard Parabola \[y=a(x-h)^2+k\] here a=1 and positive, so it'll open up b) vertex is (h,k) h=7 k=-48 so(7, -48) c) x-intercept put y=0 d) for y-intercept put x=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thinking...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have noooo idea. we just went over this material last night in class.sooo....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u are looking for the value of y when x =0 so plug in 0 for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the formula would read (0-7)^2 -48?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, so y = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is your y intercepy. great job

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now we must put 0 into for y and solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. i will solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes fyi there are two x intercepts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do i put the whole problem to zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

97
