Explanation
PROBLEM
For the parabola y = 2(x - 5) squared + 5, what is the x-coordinate of the vertex?
For the parabola y = 2(x - 5) squared + 5, what is the x-coordinate of the vertex?
A.
6
B.
7
C.
4
D.✓ Correct
5
Detailed Explanation
Choice D is the best answer. In vertex form y = a(x - h) squared + k, the vertex is at (h, k). So x = 5
Why others are wrong:
A: 6 is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation.
B: 7 is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation.
C: 4 is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation.
