1 answer

To solve Question 36 and find the vertex of the quadratic equation \( y = 2x^2 + 8 \):

The vertex form of a quadratic equation is given by \( y = a(x-h)^2 + k \), where \( (h, k) \) is the vertex. For a standard form \( y = ax^2 + bx + c \), the vertex can be found using the formula:

\[ h = -\frac{b}{2a} \]

In the equation \( y = 2x^2 + 8 \):

  • \( a = 2 \)
  • \( b = 0 \)
  • \( c = 8 \)

Using the vertex formula:

\[ h = -\frac{0}{2(2)} = 0 \]

Now, substitute \( x = 0 \) back into the equation to find \( k \):

\[ y = 2(0)^2 + 8 = 8 \]

Therefore, the vertex is:

\[ (0, 8) \]

Question 36 Answer:

Vertex: (0, 8)


For Question 37, we need to identify the zeros of the quadratic equation \( y = -(x - 2)^2 + 4 \).

We can find the zeros by setting \( y \) to zero and solving for \( x \):

\[ 0 = -(x - 2)^2 + 4 \]

Rearranging gives:

\[ (x - 2)^2 = 4 \]

Taking the square root of both sides results in:

\[ x - 2 = \pm 2 \]

This gives us two equations:

  1. \( x - 2 = 2 \) → \( x = 4 \)
  2. \( x - 2 = -2 \) → \( x = 0 \)

Thus, the zeros are \( x = 4 \) and \( x = 0 \).

We can represent the zeros in set notation:

Question 37 Answer:

Zeros: {0, 4}
