Change the function into vertex form:
f(x)=x²-10x+16
make a square by (adding half of -10)², which is 25, then subtract it:
f(x)=x²-10x+25-25+16
f(x)=(x-5)²-9
so the vertex is at (5,-9)
another way to do it:
f(x)=x²-10x+16
the vertex is when x=-
, b=-10, a=1 in this case.
x=-(-10/2*1)=5
plug x=5 into the quadratic function, you get f(x)=-9
f(x)=x²-10x+16

Answer:
The answer is 130 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' Theorem:
120² + 50² = diagonal²
diagonal² = 16900ft
diagonal = √16900
= 130ft
