Match the equation of the parabola with the appropriate description.
-$$y - 8 = 2 ( x + 2 ) ^ { 2 }$$
A) Vertex at $( - 8,2 )$
B) Vertex at $( 8 , - 2 )$
C) Vertex at $( 2 , - 8 )$
D) Vertex at $( - 2,8 )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation is in the vertex form $y - k = a(x - h)^2$, where $(h, k)$ is the vertex. Here, $h = -2$ and $k = 8$, so the vertex is $(-2, 8)$.

Match the Equation of the Parabola with the Appropriate Description y−8=2(x+2)2y - 8 = 2 ( x + 2 ) ^ { 2 }y−8=2(x+2)2

Match the Equation of the Parabola with the Appropriate Description $y - 8 = 2 ( x + 2 ) ^ { 2 }$
