Plz help me! I don't understand how to do this.

38 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

divide the shape into a rectangle and a triangle (see attached)

Area of Rectangle = 8 x 4 = 32 in²

Area of Triangle = (1/2) x 4 x 3 = 6 in²

Total area

= Area of Rectangle + Area of Triangle

= 32 + 6

= 38 in²

h(x)=(x-3)^2-6

Step-by-step explanation:

f (x) = a(x - h)2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola. FYI: Different textbooks have different interpretations of the reference "standard form" of a quadratic function. Some say f (x) = ax2 + bx + c is "standard form", while others say that f (x) = a(x - h)2 + k is "standard form"

-that is how you identify the vertex form of the function-
