I WILL FAN MEDAL NEED HELP ASAP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Given the function f(x) = 2(x − 1)2 + 1, indicate the shifts that will affect the location of the vertex, and explain what effect they will have. Use complete sentences. f(x+3) f(x) + 3 f(3x) 3•f(x)

You'll have to identify the vertex. Do you see it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sammixboo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no ? @tkhunny

OpenStudy (mathteacher1729):

Are you allowed to use a graphing calculator or something like desmos.com (Online grapher) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk ? @mathteacher1729 why

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

\(f(x) = 2(x − 1)^{2} + 1\) This is something you should know about parabolas. Vertex is at (1,1). The information is in the Vertex Form shown above.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see a bunch of question marks in the problem you just posted

OpenStudy (mathteacher1729):

It's so much easier to explain translation of graphs if you can click and drag the vertex and see the equation change as you do so.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i see it now so how do i start my answer off

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just neep the answer oe help something and fast ! @mathteacher1729

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@skullpatrol ?

@iGreen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathteacher1729 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u there ?

OpenStudy (mathteacher1729):

http://www.purplemath.com/modules/fcntrans2.htm That will explain which translations will shift an equation up or down or to the left or right. I suggest going to desmos.com and typing in f(x) = x^2 then typing in f(x+1) or f(x)-2 etc to see how the function is shifted.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this isnt helping :( @phi ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u know the answer ??? @phi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???????

OpenStudy (phi):

It is a lot to explain in a few minutes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know the answer ? @phi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you try helping me with this other question first then ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help with anopther

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with another question

OpenStudy (phi):

did you post it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi hold on dont get off please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are all the methods to finding zeros and factors of higher degree polynominal functions ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi ???? do u know the answer

OpenStudy (phi):

what have they taught you ? there are formulas for degree 3 and 4. after that, you need to use numerical methods "root finding" algorithms, which can be very sophisticated.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the answer >??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is root finding one of the answers ?

OpenStudy (phi):

yes. It depends what they mean by "higher degree" if they mean degree 2, we use the quadratic formula and there are very messy formulas for degree 3 and 4. for degree 5 and higher, we use numerical methods.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

numerical method is a answer ??

OpenStudy (phi):

maybe they mean this http://www.wikihow.com/Solve-Higher-Degree-Polynomials use Descarte's rule of signs and rational zero test.

OpenStudy (phi):

I assume the answer has to be stuff you have studied, and I doubt you are studying how to do numerical analysis (but that is the way we solve these problems)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi i can ask what degree they mean if u want ???

OpenStudy (phi):

no, I assume they want you to say factor out common terms if possible use Descartes Law of Signs use Rational Zero Test to find possible roots to test.

OpenStudy (phi):

maybe mention using synthetic division to test possible roots for zero remainder.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what key features can be identified from graphs of polynomials of higher degrees ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@misty1212

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi do u know tht one

OpenStudy (phi):

"end behavior" what it does when x is infinite large in the positive and in the negative direction local max or min (peaks or valleys) places where it crosses the x-axis are the roots of the polynomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the answer ? @phi
