: Consider the function fx = x^ +6x - 2
1- Find h, the x-coordinate of the vertex of this parabola.
2 - 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=__
I do not comprehend the equation/function/graph thing......can someone give me a look at how to do problems like this? Thanks - I have 3 more like it to do this week. This question is from textbook Blitzer College Algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1) 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
2) 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
