What is the quadratic function f(x)= x^2 + 8x − 2 in vertex form?

Usimov [2.4K]

Well vertex formula is A(x-h) + k
Where H and K are the X and Y coordinates of the minimum of the parabola
so using a graphing calculator to find the vertex of the graph you can plug it all in to get

(x + 4)^2 -18

you have no A value because it is 1

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

$5 {x}^{2} \: + \: 8x \: - 2 \: = \: 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

$sum \: of roots = - 2 + \frac{1}{5} = - \frac{8}{5} \\ product \: of \: roots = - 2 \times \frac{1}{5} = - \frac{2}{5} \\ from \: general \: equation \\ a {x}^{2} + bx + c = 0 \\ {x}^{2} + \frac{8}{5} x \: - \frac{2}{5} = 0 \\ 5 {x}^{2} \: + \: 8x \: - 2 \: = \: 0$
