Question
One function
y=−(x−5)2
for the corresponding chart
Video Solution
Solution Steps
00:06Let's find which graph matches the function.
00:10The X squared term is negative, so the parabola is facing down, like a sad face.
00:17Term P is five. Remember that.
00:21Term K is zero. Got it?
00:24Look at the X-axis intersection points. They're based on our terms.
00:29Now, let's draw the graph using those points and our down-facing parabola.
00:39And that's how we find the right graph. Great job!
Step-by-Step Solution
We need to match the function y=−(x−5)2 to the correct graph.
The graph will be a parabola that opens downward because of the negative sign in front.
The vertex of this parabola is (5,0) due to the function y=−(x−5)2.
Let’s analyze the characteristics of the graph:
The parabola is concave down (opens downward) since the square term is negative.
The vertex point of our equation must be located at (5,0).
This point indicates that the graph's highest point is at x=5.
Reviewing the options given in the chart, Option 1 correctly shows the vertex of the parabola at point (5,0), and it opens downward, as expected from a negative quadratic function.
The graph in accordance with the given function is option 1.
