40 points to who ever can answer ! which quadratic function does the graph represent? the vertex is at (-2,-3) and the point is at (0,7) a.)f(x)=5/2(x+2)^2-3 b.) f(x)= 10/9(x+2)^2-3 c.) f(x)=7(x-2)^2-3 d.)f(x)=5(x-2)^2-3

y = 2.5(x + 2)^2 - 3

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for the vertex is

y  =  a (x + b)^2 + c

a we are not certain about

b = 2

c = - 3

y = a(x + 2)^2 - 3 Now we have to solve for a.

a is found by using the one point we know (0,7) It means when x = 0 y = 7 so just put those two numbers in.

7 = a(0 - 2)^2 - 3

7 = a (- 2)^2 - 3       Add 3 to both sides.

7 + 3 = a(4)              Combine 7 and 3

10 = 4a                     Divide by 4

10/4 = a                    Do the actual division    

2.5 = a

See above

A

the equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h )² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

here the vertex = (- 2, - 3 ), thus

y = a(x + 2 )² - 3

to find a substitute (0, 7 ) into the equation

7 = 4a - 3 ( add 3 to both sides )

10 = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = =

y = (x + 2 )² - 3

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.

the answer is 2/54
