Which equation represents the parabola below written in vertex form?

 What is the equation of the parabola in vertex form?

This new equation can be written in vertex form. The vertex form of a quadratic function is y=a(x−h)2+k where: |a| is the vertical stretch factor. If a is negative, there is a vertical reflection and the parabola will open downwards.

Step-by-step explanation:

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
