Rewrite the following quadratic function in vertex form. Tell whether the vertex is a minimum or a maximum y=x^2+6x-7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Apply completing the square method.
y = = =
= - 16.
The assignment is done. Your quadratic function is written in the vertex form.
The vertex has coordinates (x,y) = (-3,-16).
The quadratic function has a minimum.
This minimum is achieved at x = -3, and the minimal value is equal to -16.
