AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around verifying the functions g(x) = x^2 and h(x) = -(x-5)^2 - 2. One participant suggests using a graphing calculator or Google to check the accuracy of the functions. There is confusion about the correct form of h(x), with a suggestion that it might be h(x) = -(x-5)^2 - 1 instead. The difficulty in visualizing the graphs is noted, particularly due to the scale used in Google searches. Overall, the participants emphasize the importance of checking the graphs for clarity and accuracy.

Homework Statement

The Attempt at a Solution


g(x) = x^2

(x-5)^2

(-1)*(x-5)^2

(-1)*(x-5)^2 - 2 = h(x)

h(x) = -(x-5)^2 - 2

Does this look correct to you?

Looks good :biggrin:

If you wanted to check you could always use a graphing calculator or copy and paste your function " -(x-5)^2 - 2" into Google in case there's more you wanted to check in the future.
 
Hmmm i typed that into google the graphs looked nothing alike?
 
Are you sure it isn't h(x) = -(x-5)^2 - 1?
 
You are right, the graph is hard to see, also look at the scale when you type into google, it is 300-(-300). zoom in xD
