45pts ! what is the vertex of the function
f(x)=- -|x + 7| - 4

 (-7, -4)

========================================

Explanation:

The general equation y = a| x-h | + k has the vertex (h,k)

Rewrite the original function in this form to get f(x) = -1|x - (-7)| + (-4) and we see that h = -7 and k = -4

So that's why the vertex is (h,k) = (-7, -4)

The V shape graph opens downward meaning that the vertex (-7, -4) is at the highest point. The graph is shown below. I used GeoGebra to make the graph.

step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2x^2 -1 

translation is a function transformation that transform the function in a way of translating. by translating the function its graph is moved  up an down. moving the function f(x) 2 units to the left will be the new function g(x) with the equation: g(x)=f(x+2)=2(x+2)^2 -1

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
