Answer:
V( 3, -8 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Parable equation is of the form:
( x - h )² = 4p*(y - k)
In that expression, vertex has coordinates V ( h, k )
Then all we have to do is transform the given equation
y = x² - 6x + 1 or x² - 6x = y - 1 (1)
We can get a perfect square trinomial in the first member of the equation according to:
x² - 6x = ( x - 3 )² - 9
(x - 3 )² = x² - 6x + 9
By substitution en equation (1)
( x - 3 )² - 9 = y - 1
( x - 3 )² = y -1 + 9
( x - 3 )² = y + 8
( x - 3 )² = (y + 8 )
Then vertex coordinates are
V( 3 , -8)
