Answer 1

Let's break this down step-by-step based on the provided questions.

Part A: Identify the vertex

For the function \( g(x) = - (x + 6)^2 - 2 \):

To find the vertex, we can observe that this function is in vertex form \( y = a(x - h)^2 + k \), where \( (h, k) \) is the vertex.

Here, \( h = -6 \) and \( k = -2 \).

The vertex is the ordered pair: \[ (-6, -2) \]

Part B: Complete the table

This would require you to specify the required x-values to find the corresponding g(x) values.

Part C: Choose the correct graph of g(x)

The graph of the function will open downwards (since the leading coefficient is negative), and the vertex at \( (-6, -2) \) will be the maximum point.

You need to identify which graph represents this.

Question 4: Vertex form of the graphed equation

The vertex form is \( y = - (x + 6)^2 - 2 \) which confirms the earlier identification of the vertex.

y = - (x + 6)^2 - 2

Question 5: Equation in vertex form

Given that you have established the vertex form in question 4:

The options are:

1. \( y = (x + 2)^2 - 2 \)
2. \( y = (x - 2)^2 - 2 \)
3. \( y = \frac{1}{2}(x + 2)^2 - 2 \)
4. \( y = -2(x + 2)^2 - 2 \)

Since the correct vertex was determined as \( (-6, -2) \), the most likely candidate based on the nearby vertex form you gave earlier would be a miscalculation since none match precisely without adjustments.

Question 6: Diver's jump

For \( h(t)=−16t^2+20t \):

• To find the x-intercepts, set \( h(t) = 0 \). By factoring or using the quadratic formula, you would solve this.

The meaning of the x-intercept represents the time (in seconds) it takes for the diver to reach the water.

Question 7: Constant term of the quadratic

The constant term \( c \) in standard form is the value of \( y \) when \( x = 0 \). This can often be observed directly from the graph.

Question 8: Roots and vertex of the quadratic

For \( y = 3x^2 - 12x - 36 \): You could apply the quadratic formula or factorization to find the roots.

1. Use the quadratic formula \( x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \).
2. For minimum value, use \( x = \frac{-b}{2a} \) to find the x-value of the vertex.

Question 9: Y-intercept of the haunted house function

The y-intercept occurs at \( t=0 \) for \( y = 3(2)^t \). Substituting \( t = 0 \), \( y = 3 \).

The y-intercept is at (0, 3).

Questions 10-16: Matching graphs, average rate of change, behavior of functions

For each corresponding graph function, calculating values, analyzing intervals, and finding properties can be followed through known ideas.

These problems typically require carrying out calculations, such as using the slope between two points for the average rate of change, and identifying natures of different kinds of functions based on definitions.

If you require specific calculations or further assistance on any of these questions, just let me know!
