Answer:
vertex = (- 1, 1 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a parabola in standard form
y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )
Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is
x = -
y = x² + 2x + 2 ← is in standard form
with a = 1 and b = 2 , then
x = - = - 1
substitute x = - 1 into the equation for y- coordinate of vertex
y = (- 1)² + 2(- 1) + 2 = 1 - 2 + 2 = 1
vertex = (- 1, 1 )
<u>The concept:</u>
We are given the equation:
Which can be simplified as:
Since any number to the power '0' is 1
x² - x must be equal to 0 for the given equation to be true
<u></u>
<u>Solving for x:</u>
x² - x = 0
x(x-1) = 0
now, we can divide both sides by either x OR x-1
So we will see what we get for either choice:
x = 0/(x-1) x-1 = 0/x
x = 0 x = 1
Hence, the value of x is either 0 or 1
