Question 87510: This is a really tough ? and i could really use some help. Using the method of “Complete the Square” put f(x) = 2x² – 10x + 14 in parabolic form, hand-graph, and identify the vertex & axis of symmetry.

Using the method of “Complete the Square” put f(x) = 2x² – 10x + 14 in parabolic form, hand-graph, and identify the vertex & axis of symmetry.
------------------
y = 2(x^2-5x+(5/2)^2) + 14 - 2*(5/2)^2
y = 2(x-(5/2))^2 + 14 - (25/2)
y = 2(x-(5/2))^2 + (3/2)
y-(3/2) = 2(x-(5/2))^2
-----------------------
Vertex at (5/2 , 3/2)
------------
Axis is x = 5/2
------------

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