Can you show me the steps in solving the following: Find the vertex:
f(x) = x^2 - 10x + 34
:
Find the vertex using the axis of symmetry formula; x = -b/(2a)
in this equation; a=1, b=-10
:
x =
:
x =
x = 5 is the axis of symmetry
:
Find y
y = 5^2 - 10(5) + 34
y = 25 - 50 + 34
y = 9
:
Vertex: x=5, y=9
