Complete The Square To Find The Vertex MAY SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE class=

Sagot :

Answer:

vertex = (10, - 80 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

y = x² - 20x + 20

Using the method of completing the square

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 20x

y = x² + 2(- 10)x + 100 - 100 + 20

  = (x - 10)² - 80 ← in vertex form

vertex = (10, - 80 )
