Answer:
(5,-6)
Step-by-step explanation:
ONE WAY:
If [tex]f(x)=x^2-6x+3[/tex], then [tex]f(x-2)=(x-2)^2-6(x-2)+3[/tex].
Let's simplify that.
Distribute with [tex]-6(x-2)[/tex]:
[tex]f(x-2)=(x-2)^2-6x+12+3[/tex]
Combine the end like terms [tex]12+3[/tex]:
[tex]f(x-2)=(x-2)^2-6x+15[/tex]
Use [tex](x-b)^2=x^2-2bx+b^2[/tex] identity for [tex](x-2)^2[/tex]:
[tex]f(x-2)=x^2-4x+4-6x+15[/tex]
Combine like terms [tex]-4x-6x[/tex] and [tex]4+15[/tex]:
[tex]f(x-2)=x^2-10x+19[/tex]
We are given [tex]g(x)=f(x-2)[/tex].
So we have that [tex]g(x)=x^2-10x+19[/tex].
The vertex happens at [tex]x=\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex].
Compare [tex]x^2-10x+19[/tex] to [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex] to determine [tex]a,b,\text{ and } c[/tex].
[tex]a=1[/tex]
[tex]b=-10[/tex]
[tex]c=19[/tex]
Let's plug it in.
[tex]\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{-(-10)}{2(1)}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{10}{2}[/tex]
[tex]5[/tex]
So the [tex]x-[/tex] coordinate is 5.
Let's find the corresponding [tex]y-[/tex] coordinate by evaluating our expression named [tex]g[/tex] at [tex]x=5[/tex]:
[tex]5^2-10(5)+19[/tex]
[tex]25-50+19[/tex]
[tex]-25+19[/tex]
[tex]-6[/tex]
So the ordered pair of the vertex is (5,-6).
ANOTHER WAY:
The vertex form of a quadratic is [tex]a(x-h)^2+k[/tex] where the vertex is [tex](h,k)[/tex].
Let's put [tex]f[/tex] into this form.
We are given [tex]f(x)=x^2-6x+3[/tex].
We will need to complete the square.
I like to use the identity [tex]x^2+kx+(\frac{k}{2})^2=(x+\frac{k}{2})^2[/tex].
So If you add something in, you will have to take it out (and vice versa).
[tex]x^2-6x+3[/tex]
[tex]x^2-6x+(\frac{6}{2})^2+3-(\frac{6}{2})^2[/tex]
[tex](x+\frac{-6}{2})^2+3-3^2[/tex]
[tex](x+-3)^2+3-9[/tex]
[tex](x-3)^2+-6[/tex]
So we have in vertex form [tex]f[/tex] is:
[tex]f(x)=(x-3)^2+-6[/tex].
The vertex is (3,-6).
So if we are dealing with the function [tex]g(x)=f(x-2)[/tex].
This means we are going to move the vertex of [tex]f[/tex] right 2 units to figure out the vertex of [tex]g[/tex] which puts us at (3+2,-6)=(5,-6).
The [tex]y-[/tex] coordinate was not effected here because we were only moving horizontally not up/down.
