What is the vertex of this parabola? y= 2x² + 4x +5
1 answer:
Answer:
vertex = (- 1, 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a parabola in standard form
y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )
Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is
= -
y = 2x² + 4x + 5 ← is in standard form
with a = 2, b = 4, then
= -
= - 1
Substitute x = - 1 into the equation for corresponding value of y, that is
y = 2(- 1)² + 4(- 1) + 5 = 2 - 4 + 5 = 3
vertex = (- 1, 3 )

Answer:
x = 1 ±
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x² - 4x = 10 ( divide through by 2 )
x² - 2x = 5
Using the method of completing the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 1)x + 1 = 5 + 1
(x - 1)² = 6 ( take the square root of both sides )
x - 1 = ± ( add 1 to both sides )
x = 1 ± ← exact solutions
