Match the equation of the parabola with the appropriate description.
-$$y - 2 = 2 ( x - 6 ) ^ { 2 }$$
A) Vertex at $( 12,2 )$
B) Vertex at $( 6,2 )$
C) Vertex at $( - 12 , - 2 )$
D) Vertex at $( - 6 , - 2 )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given equation is in the vertex form of a parabola, $y - k = a(x - h)^2$, where $(h, k)$ is the vertex. Here, $h = 6$ and $k = 2$, so the vertex is $(6, 2)$.

Match the Equation of the Parabola with the Appropriate Description y−2=2(x−6)2y - 2 = 2 ( x - 6 ) ^ { 2 }y−2=2(x−6)2

Match the Equation of the Parabola with the Appropriate Description $y - 2 = 2 ( x - 6 ) ^ { 2 }$
