You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Find the vertex and y-intercept of:
\n" ); document.write( "\"f%28x%29+=+x%5E2+-+8x+-+20\" Rewrite as:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+x%5E2+-+8x+-+20\"
\n" ); document.write( "The x-coordinate of the vertex is given by:
\n" ); document.write( "\"-b%2F2a\" (See the general form:\"ax%5E2+%2B+bx+%2B+c+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "In your equation, a = 1 and b = -8
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+-%28-8%29%2F2%281%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+4\" Substitute this into the original equation and solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+%284%29%5E2+-+8%284%29+-+20\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+16+-+32+-+20\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+-36\"
\n" ); document.write( "The vertex is at: (4, -36)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The y-intercept is found by substituting x = 0 and solving for y.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+%280%29%5E2+-+8%280%29+-+20\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+-20\"
\n" ); document.write( "The y-intercept is at: (0, -20)
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28300%2C200%2C-5%2C12%2C-38%2C5%2Cx%5E2-8x-20%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
