Question 24896: 2) For the function y = x2 - 4x - 5, perform the following tasks:
a) Put the function in the form y = a(x - h)2 + k.
Answer:
Show work in this space
b) What is the line of symmetry?
Answer:
c) Graph the function using the equation in part a. Explain why it is not necessary to plot points to graph when using y = a (x - h)2 + k.
Show graph here.
Explanation of graphing.
d) In your own words, describe how this graph compares to the graph of y = x2?
Answer:
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Y=X^2-4X-5={(X-2)^2-4-5}=(X-2)^2-9
COMPARING WITH THE GIVEN EQN . ,WE INFER THAT
A=1,H=2 AND K=-9....THE LINE OF SYMMETRY IS X-2=0 AS YOU WILL GET SAME VALUE OF Y WHETHER X-2=+4 SAY OR -4...NAMELY,Y=7.
COMPARISON WITH Y=X^2 IS SHOWN BELOW
YOU CAN SEE THAT LINE OF SYMMETRY IS X=0 HERE.
ALSO THE MINIMUM VALUE OR VERTEX AT 0,0 IN CASE OF Y=X^2,WHERE AS IT WAS AT (2,-9)
FOR THE GIVEN EQUATION
