The vertex form of a quadratic function is:
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
The coordinate (h, k) represents a parabola's vertex.
In order to convert a quadratic function in standard form to the vertex form, we can complete the square.
y = 2x² - 5x + 13
Move the constant, 13, to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides of the equation.
y - 13 = 2x² - 5x
Factor out 2 on the right side of the equation.
y - 13 = 2(x² - 2.5x)
Add (b/2)² to both sides of the equation, but remember that since we factored 2 out on the right side of the equation we have to multiply (b/2)² by 2 again on the left side.
y - 13 + 2(2.5/2)² = 2(x² - 2.5x + (2.5/2)²)
y - 13 + 3.125 = 2(x² - 2.5x + 1.5625)
Add the constants on the left and factor the expression on the right to a perfect square.
y - 9.875 = 2(x - 1.25)²
Now, we need y to be by itself again so add 9.875 back to both sides of the equation to move it back to the right side.
y = 2(x - 1.25)² + 9.875
Vertex: (1.25, 9.875)
Solution: y = 2(x - 1.25)² + 9.875
Or if you prefer fractions
y = 2(x - 5/4)² + 79/8
Given:
Consider the discount percent and SP are given.
To find:
The MP.
Solution:
Let x% be the discount percent Then
Multiply both sides by 100.
Divide both sides by 
.
Therefore, the formula for MP is 
, where x is the discount percentage.
Answer:
2,250 miles per day.
Step-by-step explanation:
John runs 2.5 miles per day. In a period of 30 months, you can averagely take 30 days in each month.
So, 30 x 30 = 900 days in 30 months.
To find the number of miles ran in 900 days,
900 x 2.5 = 2,250 miles per day.
Hope this helps.
