How about y = (x - 2)2 = x2 - 4x + 4 ? That is the equation of a parabola whose axis of symmetry is the vertical line, x = 2. Its vertex is located at the point (2, 0).
You can work this out by taking the derivative of the equation, and solving for zero: y = x2 - 8x + 18 y' = 2x - 8 0 = 2x - 8 x = 4 So the vertex occurs where x is equal to 4. You can then plug that back into the original equation to get the y-coordinate: y = 42 - 8(4) + 18 y = 16 - 32 + 18 y = 2 So the vertex of the parabola occurs at the point (4, 2), leaving 2 as the answer to your question.

To find points of intersection of any functions, set them equal to each other: x4-2 = x2 x4-x2-2 = 0 factoring this yields: (x2-2)(x2+1)=0 by the zero identity, each of these factors can be set to zero to yield valid solutions: x2-2 = 0 x2 = 2 x = +/- sqrt(2) the second factor, when set equal to zero, yields an imaginary-valued solution. On a normal Cartesian coordinate plane, this means nothing. I assume you are only looking for points of intersection on a normal, real-valued Cartesian coordinate system (the normal x-y coordinate plane used in most elementary math classes). So, these two functions intersect at x = -sqrt(2) and x = sqrt(2)
You can find the x-coordinate of it's vertex by taking it's derivative and solving for zero: y = -3x2 + 12x - 5 y' = -6x + 12 0 = -6x + 12 6x = 12 x = 2 Now that we have it's x coordinate, we can plug it back into the original equation to find it's y coordinate: y = -3x2 + 12x - 5 y = -3(2)2 + 12(2) + 5 y = -12 + 24 + 5 y = 17 So the vertex of the parabola y = -3x2 + 12x - 5 occurs at the point (2, 17).
The vertex coordinate point of the vertex of the parabola y = 24-6x-3x^2 when plotted on the Cartesian plane is at (-1, 27) which can also be found by completing the square.
This is a point on the cartesian coordinate plane... (10,13)
In the two dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, yes.
False.
false
No, in the Cartesian coordinate system it would show a vertical line whose intersection of the x-axis is 4.
The equation does not represent that of a parabola.
It is an up parabola.
Parabola: y = 6x^2 -7x+2 It makes contact with the y axis at: (0, 2) It makes contact with the x axis at: (2/3, 0) and (1/2, 0)
It is the parabola such that the coordinates of each point on it satisfies the given equation.
