When do you use a Vertex Form y=a(x – h)2 + k ? What information do you get from a Vertex Form? Please tell me

y = a(x - h)² + k   is the vertex form of an equation of a parabola with vertex (h,k)

We get the coordinates of the vertex of parabola from that form: (h, k)

We also know if the parabola goes up or down: a>0 or a<0

We can tell how many roots has the equation:

(a>0 and q>0) or (a<0 and q<0) ⇒ no roots

a≠0 and q=0  ⇒  one root:  x₀=p

(a>0 and q<0) or (a<0 and q>0) ⇒ two roots

We can also determine the roots (if they exist):

a(x - h)² + k = 0

a(x - h)² = - k

(x - h)² = - k/a

x - h = √[-k/a]     ∨   x - h = - √[-k/a]  

x = √[-k/a] + h     ∨   x = - √[-k/a] + h

Usually you use this form to find the equation of parabola when you have got given the vertex and some other point from that parabola.

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
