Match the equation of the parabola with the appropriate description.
-$$y - 6 = 2 ( x - 5 ) ^ { 2 }$$
A) Vertex at $( 5,6 )$
B) Vertex at $( - 5 , - 6 )$
C) Vertex at $( 10,6 )$
D) Vertex at $( - 10 , - 6 )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation is in the vertex form $y - k = a(x - h)^2$, where $(h, k)$ is the vertex of the parabola. Here, $h = 5$ and $k = 6$, so the vertex is at $(5, 6)$.

Match the Equation of the Parabola with the Appropriate Description y−6=2(x−5)2y - 6 = 2 ( x - 5 ) ^ { 2 }y−6=2(x−5)2
