Explanation

Answer: A

PROBLEM

For the parabola y = 3(x - 6) squared + 5, what is the x-coordinate of the vertex?

For the parabola y = 3(x - 6) squared + 5, what is the x-coordinate of the vertex?

A.

6

✓ Correct
B.

12

C.

5

D.

8

Detailed Explanation

Choice A is the best answer. In vertex form y = a(x - h) squared + k, the vertex is at (h, k). So x = 6

Why others are wrong:
B: 12 is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation.
C: 5 is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation.
D: 8 is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation.
