Answer:
y = (x - 4)² - 25
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
To obtain this form use the method of completing the square.
Given
y = (x + 1)(x - 9) ← expand factors using FOIL, thus
y = x² - 8x - 9
To complete the square
add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 8x
y = x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 - 16 - 9
= (x - 4)² - 25 ← in vertex form
Answer:
Here for your generosity, take a meme
Step-by-step explanation:
Once you complete the square, the simplified version of this equation is
(2x - 1)^2= 0
If you want to solve for x, subtract 1 and divide by 2.
x = 0.5
