The function f(t) = 4t2 − 8t + 6 shows the height from the ground f(t), in meters, of a roller coaster car at different times t. Write f(t) in the vertex form a(x − h)2 + k, where a, h, and k are integers, and interpret the vertex of f(t). f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 3; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 3 meters from the ground f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 3; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 1 meter from the ground f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 2 meters from the ground f(t) = 4(t − 1)2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 1 meter from the ground

OpenStudy (error1603):

do you know how to write f(t)=4t2−8t+6 in vertex form?

OpenStudy (kyahismine17):

No I am confuesed

OpenStudy (kyahismine17):

confused*

OpenStudy (error1603):

all your answer choices look the same except two have +2 at the end and two have +3

OpenStudy (kyahismine17):

ok

OpenStudy (error1603):

if you want to know which one is right, find f(1)

OpenStudy (kyahismine17):

Can you please clarify that? I am confused on this...

OpenStudy (error1603):

You got it?

OpenStudy (kyahismine17):

do i plug in the numbers from the answers for the ()?

OpenStudy (kyahismine17):

and not really

OpenStudy (error1603):

Yes

OpenStudy (error1603):

the minimum height is the output, it is f(1)=2

OpenStudy (kyahismine17):

ok

OpenStudy (kyahismine17):

im confused
