When x = –2 (1 point) y = –(–2)2 + 2 = –2; (–2, –2) y = (–2)2 + 2 = 2; (–2, 2) y = –(2)2 + 2 = –2; (2, –2) y = –(–2)2 – 2 = 2; (–2, –2) 9. When x = – 1 (1 point) y = –(–1)2 + 1 = 2; (–1, 1) y = (–1)2 + 2 = 1; (–2, 1) y = –(–1)2 + 2 = 1; (–1, 1) y = (–1)2 + 2 = 1; (1, –1) 10. When x = 0 (1 point) y = –(0)2 + 2 = 2; (0, 2) y = –(0)2 + 2 = –2; (0, –2) y = (0)2 – 2 = 2; (2, 0) 11. When x = 1 (1 point) y = –(1)2 – 2 = 1; (1, 1) y = –(1)2 + 2 = 1; (1, 1) y = (1)2 + 2 = –1; (1, 1) y = (1)2 + 2 = 1; (1, –1) 12. When x = 2 (1 point) y = (2)2 – 2 = 2; (2, –2) y = –(2)2 – 2 = –2; (2, 2) y = (2)2 + 2 = –2; (2, 2) y = –(2)2 + 2 = –2; (2, –2)

@ilovemath2 Have you ever used geogebra? It is super helpful for understanding function translations.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HEEELP!

OpenStudy (mathteacher1729):

You have the right idea, substitute the value of x into the given equation and then solve for y. The result is x = the given number and y = the computed number. but.... When x = –2 y = –(–2)2 + 2 = (2)2 + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6 so when x = -2, y = 6 The (x,y) point is then just (-2,6). If this is a computation type problem, then this is good practice for substitution. Hope this hint helps.

Do you have Geogebra open?

OpenStudy (mathteacher1729):

You can very quickly check your answers to this question with Geogebra.

oh okay thanks

OpenStudy (mathteacher1729):

Click "perspectives" then "spreadsheet & graphics". Then type in the chart given to you in the problem. When you have that let me know, I'll show you what to do next.

Kay got it was starting to set that up earlier :)

OpenStudy (mathteacher1729):

Ok, now under y = -x^2 + 2 click that cell type "=" (without quotes) then click on the cell that says -2, just to the left of it. If you did this right, "A2" will appear in the parenthesis. Then just type the rest of the equation... = -(A2)^2 +2 press enter, and 6 should appear there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right but none of the multiple choice answers are that which is stumping me

OpenStudy (mathteacher1729):

Oh poo hold on. -2 should be the answe.r -(-2)^2 = -2 but -(-2)2 = 4 The "^" means "raised to the power of".

OpenStudy (mathteacher1729):

Well after getting -2 in that first slot, you can then copy/paste down the line and it should fill out for you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes of course Now i got this answer for number 8 y = –(–2)2 + 2 = –2; (–2, –2)

OpenStudy (mathteacher1729):

Ok, hold on right there. y = –(–2)2 + 2 Do you mean \[\huge y = –(–2)2 + 2\] or \[\huge y = –(–2)^2 + 2\] These are VERY DIFFERENT Answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that seems correct because x (the first number) is -2 and then y -2 I mean the 2nd answer

OpenStudy (mathteacher1729):

Beware when you copy/paste anything with an exponent. It is often dropped, and confusion abounds!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true sorry so it seems i'm right on 8 could you go for a few more or no cause if not I think I can figure it out from here but I would love your help

I only need number 12 answered now
