Question

the function g(x) = 3x2 − 12x 7 written in vertex form is g(x) = 3(x − 2)2 − 5. what is the vertex of g(x)? a.(−6, −5) b.(−2, −5) c.(2, −5) d.(6, −5)

Answer 1

Hello,

Answer C
++++++++++++++++++++
g(x)=3x²-12x+7=3(x²-2*2x+4)+7-12
=3(x-2)²-5
Vertex is (2,-5)

Answer 2

we know that

The equation of the vertical parabola is of the form

`y=a(x-h)^(2) +k`

where

`(h,k)` is the vertex of the parabola

In this problem we have

`g(x)=3(x-2)^(2) -5`

The parabola open upward

The vertex is a minimum

The vertex is the point
`(2,-5)`

therefore

the answer is the option C

`(2,-5)`
