Q. The functions f(x)=−(x−4)2+3 and g(x)=−(x−4)2+5 are graphed in the same xy-plane as y=f(x) and y=g(x). If (h1,k1) is the vertex of the graph of function f and (h2,k2) is the vertex of the graph of function g, then what is k2−k1 ?Choose 1 answer:(A) −2(B) 0(C) 2(D) 8
Identifying the vertex of f(x): The question prompt is: "What is the difference in the y-coordinates of the vertices of the graphs of the functions f(x) and g(x)?"
Identifying the vertex of g(x): First, let's identify the vertex of the graph of function f(x). The function f(x) is in the form of a parabola, f(x)=a(x−h)2+k, where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola. For f(x)=−(x−4)2+3, the vertex (h1,k1) is (4,3).
Calculating the difference in y-coordinates: Next, let's identify the vertex of the graph of function g(x). The function g(x) is also in the form of a parabola, g(x)=a(x−h)2+k. For g(x)=−(x−4)2+5, the vertex (h2,k2) is (4,5).
Calculating the difference in y-coordinates: Next, let's identify the vertex of the graph of function g(x). The function g(x) is also in the form of a parabola, g(x)=a(x−h)2+k. For g(x)=−(x−4)2+5, the vertex (h2,k2) is (4,5).Now, we need to find the difference in the y-coordinates of the vertices of the two functions. This is calculated by subtracting k1 from k2: k2−k1=5−3.
