What is the vertex of the quadratic function f(x) = (x-8)(x - 2)?

Mathematics

Sergio [31]2 years ago

Answer:

The vertex is (5, -9).

Step-by-step explanation:

One way of approaching this problem consists of finding the roots.  Seet the quadratic equal to zero and solve for x:  {2, 8}.

The axis of symmetry is exactly halfway between 2 and 8:  x = 5.

Now find the y-component of the vertex by evaluating f(5):

f(5) = (5 - 8)(5 - 2) = -9

The vertex is (5, -9).  This is the minimum value of the function.  The graph of this quadratic opens up.

Answer:

What makes a square a square <br> why isn't a rectangle?
Lilit [14]
A square is a geometrical figure that has 4 congruent sides and angles. This means all side lengths and angles are the same.

A rectangle is a geometrical figure that has 4 similar sides but are not the same length. However, a rectangle does have congruent angles. A rectangle has 2 sides that are double the other 2 sides, in which both of each (length & width) have the same measurement.

I hope this helps!
