Question 572263: can you visualy show me step by step how to find the vertex of the equation y=5(x+5)(x-2)
Answer by nyc_function(2741)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y = 5(x+5)(x-2)
y = 5(x^2 + 3x - 10)
y = 5x^2 + 15x - 50
The vertex we need is in the form (x,y).
To find the x-coordinate, use x = -b/2a.
a = 5 and b = 15
x = -15/2(5)
x = -15/10
x = -3/2
To find y, replace x in the above equation with -3/2 and simplify.
y = 5(-3/2)^2 + 15(-3/2) - 50
y = -245/4
The vertex is the pont (-3/2, -245/4).
