Question

The parent function of the function g(x) = (x-h)² + k is f(x) = x2. The vertex of the function g(x) is located at (9,-8).

What are the values of h and k?
g(x) = (x-
².

Answer 1

The values of h and k are 9 and -8, respectively

Explanation:

This is how to determine the values of h and k

The vertex of the function g(x) is located at (9, –8)

The vertex of a function is represented as:

Vertex = (h,k)

This means that:

(h,k) = (9,-8)

By comparison, we have:

h = 9 and k = -8

So, the values of h and k are 9 and -8, respectively
