Question 142711: find the vertex of the graph of the quadratic function.
x/(x-2) - 4/(x^2-4x+4)
I'm just not sure what I'm supposed to be doing or where to start.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x/(x-2) - 4/(x^2-4x+4)
x/(x-2) - 4/(x-2)^2
(x(x-2)-4)/(x-2)^2
(x^2-2x-4)/(x^2-4x+4)
This is a rational function as you have written it. There is no vertex.
