Q. The function f is given in three equivalent forms.Which form most quickly reveals the vertex?Choose 1 answer:(A) f(x)=−3(x−2)2+27(B) f(x)=−3(x+1)(x−5)(C) f(x)=−3x2+12x+15What is the vertex?Vertex=(□,□)
Identify Vertex Form: Identify the form that reveals the vertex.The vertex form of a parabola is y=a(x−h)2+k, where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.
Compare Given Forms: Compare the given forms of the function f. (A) f(x)=−3(x−2)2+27 is already in vertex form. (B) f(x)=−3(x+1)(x−5) is in factored form, which does not directly reveal the vertex. (C) f(x)=−3x2+12x+15 is in standard form, which also does not directly reveal the vertex.
Determine Quickest Form: Determine which form most quickly reveals the vertex.Form (A) is already in vertex form, so it most quickly reveals the vertex of the parabola.
Identify Vertex: Identify the vertex from form (A).In form (A), f(x)=−3(x−2)2+27, we can see that h=2 and k=27.Therefore, the vertex is (2,27).
