Question

Y=-x^2-10x+24 What is the y value of the vertex?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Get the equation in the form y = ax^2 + bx + c.

2.) Calculate -b / 2a. This is the x-coordinate of the vertex.

3.) To find the y-coordinate of the vertex, simply plug the value of -b / 2a into the equation for x and solve for y. This is the y-coordinate of the vertex.

1.) y = -x^2 - 10x + 24

2.) -(-10) / 2(-1) = -5

3.) y = -(-5)^2 - 10(-5) + 24

    y = -25 + 50 + 24

    y = 49
