PLEASE HELP ME

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Identify the vertex for the graph of y = 2x^2 + 8x - 3. (2, 21) (2, 17) (-2, -11) (-2, -27)

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

I like how Ess was in first place when I was tagged ;) Ess's got this

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Too late </3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There. Bt=etter? ^^

OpenStudy (abb0t):

The vertex of a parabola y = a(x - h)\(\sf ^2\) + k is at (h, k).

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Can you set up the quadrattic in that form first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. I have no clue

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it is B. not completely sure though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Better than nothing! Lol thanks

OpenStudy (esshotwired):

Well Chris, ma friend, can you explain why you think it's B? Then you would know for sure ;P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve x^2 - 8x - 20 = 0. x = 4, x = -5 x = -4, x = 5 x = 2, x = -10 x = -2, x = 10

OpenStudy (adamaero):

factor

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Just graph it.. the solutions or roots are found when the parabola intersects the x-axis. Use demos.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C.

OpenStudy (adamaero):

aww, you're making his HW so easy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 2x^2 + 8x - 3, set y=0, 0=x^2+4x-3/2 0=(x+2)^2-11/2, so when x=-2, the point is at the vertex , and x=-2,y=8-16-3=-11, (-2,-11) is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks for the clarification @WilliamZhang

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the graph below, what should the domain be so that the function is at least 300? graph of y equals minus 2 times the square of x plus 50 times x plus 300 x ≥ 0 -5 ≤ x ≤ 30 0 ≤ x ≤ 25 all real numbers
