anyone ? help please ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with what exactly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The graph of which quadratic equation is shown below?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the vertex?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont knoww

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The vertex is the tip of the parabola so it is (1,9) (h,k) and putting what we have so far into the vertex equation \[y=a(x-h)^2+k\]\[y=a(x-1)^2+9\] and now you just find a point on the graph substitute it for x and y and solve for a and then fill in the vertex equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still dont get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You don't get what I said... or what to do next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what to do next

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so let's look at your beautiful graph given find me a point on the graph (any one)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with x and y coordinate (x,y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i ahve no diea how to do this nto be honest.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know any calculus?, if you do diffrentiate and find the required maximum..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no im sorry i dontt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i reallly needdd help on this please you guys

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we dont even know what the question is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually nvm, solving it now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

He has to find the equation for the graph @Posideon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok this is how you do it. y=(x-k)^2 + c is the standard equation for a parabola. as this parabola is upside down im gonna use y=-(x-k)^2 +c. k represents the shift horizontally. it has been moved left 2 and up 9 so the equation is y=-(x-2)^2 + 9. im assuming it hasnt been expanded(made fatter or anything as i cbf solving that). Enjoy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the vertex is not (2,9) it's (1,9) @Posideon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah my bad. change the 2 to a 1. its actually at (-1,9)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh yeah, haha
