Question

Rewrite y=x^2-6x+2 then state whether the vertex is maximum or minimum and give its coordinates

Answer 1

To solve the expression we re-write the equation in vertex form;
y=x^2-6x+2
y=(x^2-6x+9)-9+2
y=(x-3)^2-7
the vertex is at the point (3,-7), hence the minimum or maximum point is at (3,-7)
