Question 115157: Please help, I am totally confused by this question and my homework is due on Saturday.
Consider the function f(x)=x^2+6x-2
a)Find h, the x-coordinate of the vertex of this parabola
b)Substitute the two whole number values immediately to the left and right of h into the function to find the corresponding y. fill in the table below. Make sure your x-values are in increasing order in your table
x y
___ __
___ __
h= ___ __
___ __
___ __
Thank you in advance for your help Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a) the vertex lies on the axis of symmetry ___ the equation is x=-b/2a ___ x=-6/(2*1) ___ x=-3 ___ this is the h value
b) the two numbers to the left (less than) of h are -5 and -4
___ the two to the right (greater than) are -2 and -1
___ plug the numbers as x-values into f(x) and find the corresponding y-values ___ y IS f(x); same thing, different name
___ enter the values in the table
