To convert a quadratic<span> from y = ax</span>2<span> + bx + c form to </span>vertex<span> form, y = a(x - h)</span>2+ k, you use the process of completing the square. Let's see an example. Convert y = 2x2<span>- 4x + 5 into </span>vertex<span> form, and state the </span>vertex<span>.</span>
A ski lift is modeled by the function f(x) = (0.2)(–2x 3 + 23x 2 + 25x + 50), where x is the time in seconds. When it comes out of the first stop, it is now climbing toward its highest point from the ground. During which time interval will the ski lift reach a height over 50 feet above the ground?
