Question

The graph of f(x) = x2 has been shifted into the form f(x) = (x − h)2 + k: a parabola with a vertex of 4, negative 2 What is the value of h? (1 point) Select one: a. 4 b. 2 c. −2 d. −4

Answer 1

h is the x coordinate of the vertex, so h would be 4, so a

Answer 2

we know that

The vertex of the function
`f(x)=x^(2)` is the point
`(0,0)`

The vertex of the function
`f(x)=(x-h)^(2)+k` is the point
`(4,-2)`

The x-coordinate of the vertex is equal to h

the y-coordinate of the vertex is equal to k

so

the value of h is
`4`

the value of k is
`-2`

the equation is

`f(x)=(x-4)^(2)-2`

therefore

the answer is the option a

`4`
