Question

What is the vertex of the quadratic function f(x)=(x-6)(x+2)?

Answer 1

Answer:

(2, -16).

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 6)(x + 2)

Convert to vertex form:

Expanding the parentheses we have:

x^2 + 2x - 6x - 12

= x^2 - 4x - 12

Completing the square:

= (x - 2)^2 - 4 - 12

= (x - 2)^2 - 16

So the vertex is (2, -16),
