Question

Write the quadratic function in vertex form, then identify the vertex

Answer 1

Answer:

vertex = (- 10, - 10 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a quadratic 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

h(x) = x² + 20x + 90

add/subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )²

h(x) = x² + 2(10)x + 100 - 100 + 90

      = (x + 10)² - 10 ← in vertex form

with (h, k ) = (- 10, - 10 )
