Fill in the missing portions of the equation to rewrite q(x)q of x to reveal the vertex of the graph of the upper rainbow. Use your graphing calculator to help you find the vertex of the parabola.
Enter your answers in the boxes. Use fractions and/or decimals as necessary. If using decimals, round to the nearest tenth. (Type fractions using a slash (/). For example, 12 would be entered as 1/2.)
Answer:Correct! Go to question 2.Incorrect. The answers are:
q(x)=-negative111(x−6)2+4.5q of x equals negative one eleventh times the quantity of x minus six squared plus four and five tenths
Start by graphing the quadratic function in the graphing calculator.
Find the vertex of the parabola. (What is the parabola’s maximum?) Use the features of the graphing calculator to facilitate finding this value.
The parabola has a maximum at (6, 4.5). This is the vertex of the parabola.
h(x)=-negative111(x−6)2+4.5q of x equals negative one eleventh times the quantity of x minus six squared plus four and five tenths
Go to question 2.
Incorrect. Review the Learn It section, and then try again.
