Question

The first three steps in writing f(x) = 40x 5x2 in vertex form are shown. write the function in standard form. f(x) = 5x2 40x factor a out of the first two terms. f(x) = 5(x2 8x) form a perfect square trinomial. (eight-halves) squared = 16 f(x) = 5(x2 8x 16) – 5(16) what is the function written in vertex form?

Answer 1

The function f(x) = 5x² + 40x is a parabola. Then the vertex of the parabola will be at (–4, –80).

What is the parabola?

It is the locus of a point that moves so that it is always the same distance from a non-movable point and a given line. The non-movable point is called focus and the non-movable line is called the directrix.

The function f(x) = 5x² + 40x

Then add and subtract 80, then we have

f(x) = 5x² + 40x + 80 – 80

f(x) = 5(x² + 8x + 16) – 80

f(x) = 5(x + 4)² – 80

The vertex of the parabola will be at (–4, –80).
