anyone super smart and good at maths care to help please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

vertex of the graph y-4=(x+1)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Secret-Ninja

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@gorv yes please this is the question i need help with :)

OpenStudy (gorv):

what is vertex of y=x^2 ???

OpenStudy (gorv):

@Frazfootballa

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure tbh

OpenStudy (gorv):

(0,0) isn't it???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=0 right

OpenStudy (gorv):

if we shift it to (-1,4) what will happen???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

downward slope?

OpenStudy (gorv):

yeah..vertex is changed to (-1,4) now

OpenStudy (gorv):

equation will be y-4=(x-(-1))^2

OpenStudy (gorv):

so vertex is (-1,4)

OpenStudy (gorv):

@Frazfootballa

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@gorv thank you :) could you possibly help me find What are the x-intercepts for the graph of another equation please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=3(x+1)(x-6)

OpenStudy (gorv):

x intercept means value of x when y=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the value of x when y is 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if y=3(x+1)(x-6) how would i figure that part out

OpenStudy (gorv):

0=3(x+1)(x-6)

OpenStudy (gorv):

that is (x+1)(x-6)=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok im understanding that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not lost yet :P

OpenStudy (gorv):

so it means it will be zero only when x=-1 or x=6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=-1 and x=6 ?

OpenStudy (gorv):

yeah the x intercept

OpenStudy (gorv):

value of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-1,0) and (6,0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it look like that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or (0,-1) and (0,6)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
