what are the coordinates of the vertex function:
y-11=-(x-5)^2

hey
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hi!
OpenStudy (dan815):
(x-5) means the graph is shifted to what direction?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it is negative right? and to the left?
OpenStudy (dan815):
works a little hte other way around

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the right?
OpenStudy (dan815):
yeah
OpenStudy (dan815):
think about it for x^2
OpenStudy (dan815):
if u put 0 in for y=x^2, the aswer is 0^2 = 0
but for (x-5)^2 ; when x = 0 ; y = 25!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its, (0,25) ?

and u dont get to 25 on
y=x^2 untill you get to x = 5
OpenStudy (dan815):
yes good observation!
OpenStudy (dan815):
okay lets see how the other values effect this graph
OpenStudy (anonymous):
haha! thank you!
OpenStudy (dan815):
y-11=-(x-5)^2
theres a - infront of that whole (x-5)^2 so its a negative parabola function(going downward)

oh okay that makes sense
OpenStudy (dan815):
and the value of y is affected by this y-11, how does this effect the graph
OpenStudy (anonymous):
also facing downward?
OpenStudy (dan815):
remember how (x-5) told you some shift to the right or left
what about (y-11) will that also tell you some shift, perhaps up or down now
OpenStudy (anonymous):
down!

again its a little bit weird like the x-5, its actually being shifted up
OpenStudy (dan815):
but its a little more easier to see if you put it in this form
