Solution

I'll help you solve the problems from the image you've uploaded. Let me first analyze the content and extract the necessary information to proceed with solving the questions.

Please give me a moment.The image contains a worksheet with several problems that involve graphing and interpreting quadratic functions. I will break down the specific problems visible and provide solutions accordingly.

1. Quadratic Graph Analysis

The first graph shows a parabola, and you're asked to identify the vertex and axis of symmetry.

  • Vertex: The vertex is the point where the parabola changes direction. In this graph, the vertex is at (2,3)(2, -3).
  • Axis of Symmetry: The axis of symmetry is a vertical line that passes through the vertex. Since the vertex is at x=2x = 2, the equation of the axis of symmetry is x=2x = 2.

2. Graphing Based on Vertex and Axis of Symmetry

Another question asks you to graph a quadratic function by using the vertex form of the equation. The given vertex is (2,3)(2, -3), and the axis of symmetry is x=2x = 2.

  • Using the vertex form equation: The vertex form of a quadratic function is: y=a(xh)2+ky = a(x - h)^2 + k where (h,k)(h, k) is the vertex. For this case, since the vertex is (2,3)(2, -3), the equation is: y=a(x2)23y = a(x - 2)^2 - 3 You would need more information (like another point) to determine the value of aa.

3. Another Graph and Equation Interpretation

Another graph shows a quadratic function with a vertex at (2,5)(-2, 5). This question likely asks for the vertex and axis of symmetry:

  • Vertex: (2,5)(-2, 5)
  • Axis of Symmetry: x=2x = -2

4. Completing the Square

There is also a problem asking you to complete the square for the quadratic equation x2+4x+y=6x^2 + 4x + y = 6. After rearranging terms, you need to rewrite the equation in vertex form: y=x2+4x6y = x^2 + 4x - 6 Completing the square for the quadratic expression x2+4xx^2 + 4x: x2+4x=(x+2)24x^2 + 4x = (x + 2)^2 - 4 Substituting this back, we get the vertex form: y=(x+2)210y = (x + 2)^2 - 10 The vertex of this parabola is (2,10)(-2, -10).
