Answer:

(5, -9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's multiply the function out:

f(x) = (x-8)(x-2)

f(x)=x^2-2x-8x+16\\f(x)=x^2-10x+16

The vertex is (h, k), where

h = -b/2a

and

k is plugging in h into the equation

  • a is the number before the x^2 term, hence a = 1
  • b is the number before x term, hence b = -10
  • c is the constant , hence c = 16

Plugging these into the formula for h, we get:

h=-\frac{b}{2a}\\=-\frac{-10}{2(1)}\\=5

Now pluggin in 5 into the equation we get:

x^2-10x+16\\(5)^2-10(5)+16\\=-9

Hence, vertex is (5, -9)

Answer: (5,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to apply Distributive property:

f(x) = (x-8)(x-2)\\f(x)=x^2-2x-8x+16\\f(x)=x^2-10x+16

Find the x-coordinate of the vertex with this formula:

x=\frac{-b}{2a}

In this case:

b=-10\\a=1

Then you get:

x=\frac{-(-10)}{2*1}=5

Substitute x=5 into the function to find the y-coordinate:

f(5)=y=5^2-10(5)+16=-9

Therefore the vertex is: (5,-9)

The intercepts and the graph on your worksheet are not correct. Please see below for details:

x^2-2x-3=0 has solutions at x=-1 and x=3 (use the quadratic formula to solve). That means these are the x-intercepts, namely points:

(-1,0) and (3,0).

The y-intercept comes from setting x=0 and calculating the y value:

y=0^2-2\cdot0-3=-3

so the y-intercept is (0,-3).

Now to the graph: Based on the form of the function we can see this is a quadratic function and its graph will be a parabola. You can reformat the expression in the following form

y = x^2-2x-3=(x-1)^2-4

and that will indicate that the apex of the parabola (open up) will be at the point (1,-4).

Knowing the apex, the x intercepts, and the y intercept, we can graph it now.

Graph is in the image attached.
