Match the equation of the parabola with the appropriate description.
-$$y + 2 = 2 ( x + 15 ) ^ { 2 }$$
A) Vertex at $( - 15 , - 2 )$
B) Vertex at $( 15 , - 2 )$
C) Vertex at $( 2,15 )$
D) Vertex at $( - 2,15 )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given equation is in the form $y - k = a(x - h)^2$, where $(h, k)$ is the vertex of the parabola. Comparing, we find the vertex is at $(-15, -2)$.

Match the Equation of the Parabola with the Appropriate Description y+2=2(x+15)2y + 2 = 2 ( x + 15 ) ^ { 2 }y+2=2(x+15)2

Match the Equation of the Parabola with the Appropriate Description $y + 2 = 2 ( x + 15 ) ^ { 2 }$
