The quotient of a number and 9 is the same as the difference of 14 and 8

The statement is an equation in word form, so to solve, write the statement as an equation. In the phrase "The quotient of a number and 9" let X represent "a number." The statement as an expression is X / 9. "Is the same as" indicates the two expressions are equal, and "the difference of 14 and 8" means 14 - 8.

Put it together and you get the expression X / 9 = 14 - 8. From here, you have to solve for X by simplifying the expression and multiplying both sides by 9.

X / 9 = 14 - 8

X / 9 = 6

9 (X / 9) = (6) 9

X = 36

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
