the function g(x) = 3x2 − 12x 7 written in vertex form is g(x) = 3(x − 2)2 − 5. what is the vertex of g(x)? a.(−6, −5) b.(−2, −5) c.(2, −5) d.(6, −5)
Hello,
++++++++++++++++++++++
Answer C
++++++++++++++++++++
g(x)=3x²-12x+7=3(x²-2*2x+4)+7-12
=3(x-2)²-5
Vertex is (2,-5)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
we know that
The equation of the vertical parabola is of the form
\(y=a(x-h)^{2} +k\)
where
\((h,k)\) is the vertex of the parabola
In this problem we have
\(g(x)=3(x-2)^{2} -5\)
The parabola open upward
The vertex is a minimum
The vertex is the point \((2,-5)\)
therefore
the answer is the option C
\((2,-5)\)
