Question 2 • TX-Pre-Calculus

Which equation represents a graph with a vertex at (–3, 2)?

Answer
A
y = 4x2 + 24x + 38
B
y = 4x2 – 24x + 38
C
y = 4x2 + 12x + 2
D
y = 4x2 + 16x + 13

Explanation

For a quadratic y = ax² + bx + c, the vertex’s x-coordinate is −b/(2a). In choice A, this is −24/(2 × 4) = −3; substituting x = −3 gives y = 4(9) + 24(−3) + 38 = 2. So choice A, y = 4x² + 24x + 38, has a vertex at (−3, 2).
