Question

Determine which of the following statements is true concerning the values described in column #1 and column #2.

Column #1
The x-coordinate of the vertex of the equation
y = 2x2−4x +12
Column #2
The x-coordinate of the vertex of the equation
y = 4x2 + 8x + 3

The value found in column #1 is greater than the value found in column #2.

The value found in column #1 is less than the value found in column #2.

The value found in column #1 is equivalent to the value found in column #2.

The relationship between column #1 and column #2 cannot be determined by the information given.

Answer 1

Just look how to find the vertex of quadratic equations

Answer 2

what?

Answer 3

x = -b/2a

Answer 4

So for column 1 x = 1 & column 2 it is -1

Answer 5

The value found in column #1 is greater than the value found in column #2.

Answer 6

Oh okay thanks!
