evidence of obtaining the vertex     (M1)

e.g. a graph, \(x = – \frac{b}{{2a}}\) , completing the square

\(f(x) = 2{(x + 1)^2} – 8\)     A2     N3

Question

Let \(f(x) = 3{x^2}\) . The graph of f is translated 1 unit to the right and 2 units down. The graph of g is the image of the graph of f after this translation.

Write down the coordinates of the vertex of the graph of g .

[2]
a.

Express g in the form \(g(x) = 3{(x – p)^2} + q\) .

[2]
b.

The graph of h is the reflection of the graph of g in the x-axis.

Write down the coordinates of the vertex of the graph of h .
