You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=x%5E2-14x%2B49.......write it in vertex form y=%28x-h%29%5E2%2Bk where h and k are x and y coordinates of vertex
y=%28x%5E2-14x%2B_%29-_%2B49

y=%28x%5E2-14x%2B7%5E2%29-7%5E2%2B49
y=%28x-7%29%5E2-49%2B49
y=%28x-7%29%5E2
as you can see, h=7 and k=0, so vertex is at (7,0)
